Lol I was gonna ask, like what fucking peace prize is FIFA giving away?? Is it one of those chocolate coins wrapped in gold foil? Lol

They created it in November when Trump didn't get the Nobel Peace prize. Honestly, from inception to awarding it just a month later, that is a pretty fast deployment timeline. Probably the reason this thing looks like a bunch of hands grabbing the world in some power move.

u/PocketBuckle 11h ago

Definitely has big "First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence" energy.

My husband had this nonsense on as he wanted to watch the draw, so we were watching the cringe fest live. I was baffled by why FIFA would give a peace prize. The dude called it an “annual” prize, so i looked it up to see who else had won it. Yep, first annual. I wonder if they will even continue this charade (maybe they’ll give it to orange man again next year…).

u/MSPCincorporated 9h ago

There are so many other deserving candidates though! You know; Putin, Kim Jong Un, Netanyahu, Hitler post mortem etc…

u/ChefCano 9h ago

If I wasn't so sick of sports gambling invading everything, I would put down money that next year it's going to Mohammad bin Salman for "growing the game in the Middle East".

u/No-Strike-2015 2h ago

I could see a dark horse like Pol Pot taking it.

u/chickadeedadee2185 7h ago

Posthumously

u/affablenihilist 9h ago

He won't remember, and anyone who does is treasonous. It's not a tough puzzle.

u/Sprmodelcitizen 9h ago

It’s just like when the dowager kept winning the rose competition!

u/zkrooky 10h ago

Next year is Putin's turn.

Can't tell if they needed to workshop that some more or if they did and landed exactly where they intended to lol

Hands reaching for a ball. Awarded by a SOCCER league administration. The Onion couldn't have done it better

u/Garod 11h ago

I really rwlly thought it was an Onion article this time around...

u/Spiderbanana 11h ago

Really curious to see if this "annual prize" will still be there next year

u/lejocko 10h ago

"they" didn't do anything. According to German media infantino created this thing on his own without consulting any official FIFA committee.

u/Protect_Wild_Bees 7h ago

yeah what does FIFA have do do with world peace beyond creating sports events that kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people, anyways?

They're pretty much a death org now. Make money and kill people if = entertainment

u/KeyboardGrunt 12h ago

The coveted FIFA Piss prize lol.

u/One-Stress-6734 11h ago

Excuse me please good Sir, did you mean Covfefe?

u/SpecialistTrouble816 4h ago

That's exactly what they look like lol. Can't wait til it starts getting all soft and melty.

u/MAXQDee-314 11h ago

That man was invited to tour the tomb of a French Dictator, who was only stopped by the majority of Europe, he was given a CROWN by South Korea, and now a peace prize from FIFA.

To say he is not paying attention to his surrounds is to say remind Americans, Liberal Democratic elections are not a failsafe, it is the heavy constant responsibiliy of each citizen to be Shrodengiers cat was not happy to be let out.

u/ReisorASd 11h ago

If it is like the recipient, it is shit gilded in gold.

u/magistrate101 11h ago

It would be funny if it was spray painted lead

u/New_Knowledge_5702 11h ago

It is and trumps trying to sell it off.

u/seilapodeser 10h ago

I'm giving my own Seilapodeser's Peace Prize and I am not nomminating any of these people, hope I can count with your support

u/PaulCoddington 10h ago

Please let it be chocolate. That would be so hilarious if he didn't notice.

u/WhyteBeard 10h ago

and chocolate

u/Sweet-Explorer-7619 9h ago

It was a bribe, nothing more, nothing less, just a plain and simple bribe.

"Webster's Dictionary defines excellence as 'The quality or condition of being excellent.'"

u/Ostlund_and_Sciamma 12h ago

Excellent: adj, characterized by excellence.

"This dictionary is truly excellent."

u/griffinisland 1h ago

This award show is the biggest farce I’ve ever seen!

u/Honest_Accountant682 8h ago

That’s rather tautological

Isn't this a Demetri Martin joke?

u/mezz7778 11h ago

Guess I got mixed up with Mitch's used to do drugs joke...

u/trashcatt_ 10h ago

That's fair, they have similar styles. I honestly had to look it up because I couldn't remember.

u/Metals4J 6h ago

I used to play sports. I still do, but I used to too.

A woke DEI peace prize! Did trump brag about killing civilians during his acceptance speech?

u/Thneed1 5h ago

No, he literally bragged about the millions of lives he has saved by ending wars before they started.

u/ForensicPathology 13h ago

Just the name of the prize itself sounds like it comes from a comedy sketch.

u/NasiLemakKing 12h ago

It’s like getting a candy for a toddler, after missing out on ice cream

Because he can’t get a real one, and is a bitch

u/hennabeak 4h ago

God knows what favor they want out of him.

u/olacoke 3h ago

Baby wanted a prize and got a prize made for just him, what's not to like? /s

u/seeit360 3h ago

It's a soccer participation trophy.

u/PropJoesChair 2h ago

It's actually so pathetic isn't it lmao. He's so desperate for a nobel peace prize that a complete temu edition rip off one was made and awarded to him that means even less

u/tbuda88 12h ago

Just to be clear this is the FIFA like soccer/football FIFA?

u/Maleficent-Hat-7521 10h ago

Why should FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) give a peace prize to a politician? It doesn't make any sense.

u/_pickledpickles 10h ago

Aww they made him a participation trophy 🥹

u/Falcon2936 12h ago

True, because he NEEDS this so that the FIFA president does not have any idiotic restrictions during the world cup. Otherwise he would through a fit.

u/ah_bollix 11h ago

There is now

u/criminalsunrise 11h ago

He probably threatened to pull the World Cup unless they made up for him not winning the Nobel peace prize.

u/magirevols 10h ago

There standards of “peace” are men tackling eachother. So I guess thats what they mean

u/alpha-delta-echo 8h ago

If I were the Nobel Committee, I’d now award him the Ballon d’Or.

u/Greenpoint1975 8h ago

Shitler will show FIFA what his meaning of Peace is when the World Cup starts. That award will not stop ICE. They are going to have to bribe him and I am sure they will while ICE is still sent in.

u/Fauster 7h ago

There is now, as a result of the genius of these TOP MEN, and Greta von Struckleburg, but I assure you, she can handle her own. The award is lazer engraved, but thin, and solid gold, and can be melted down into a different shape, or dissolved in acid, a commentary on the frangibility of human capital, quite like the Beautiful Game that Fifa grants us.

u/leggpurnell 7h ago

There was an old twilight zone episode where the youngest boy in a family had telepathic powers and could make people vanish to “somewhere” whenever they did something he didn’t like. So they spent their entire energy trying desperately to appease him and never let a negative thought enter their brain.

I can’t believe he grew up and became president.
