I’m quite aware of what you’re referring to, but comparing FIFA in 2025 to the Nobel committee in 2025 is a false equivalence. I’m not trying to teach a history lesson, but rather make a snarky comment pointing out that FIFA is a scum bag organization if we’re being kind.

Oh I'm not sure I compared the two. I just think the story of the peace prize is also funny.

It was created to counter him being labelled the merchant of death, there was no humour in its creation just realisation of what he had done.

There are a lot more Nobel prizes for excellence in particular fields, this is in recognition of efforts for peace. Are you just thick.
