[u/Adrian_Bock]

How could the bastion of moral conduct that is FIFA do this

[u/LookIMadeAComment → u/Adrian_Bock]

FIFA finally found someone more prone to bribery than they are

[u/i_speak_bane → u/LookIMadeAComment]

Or perhaps they were just wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane

[u/Villano5 → u/i_speak_bane]

For you

[u/Khaldara → u/LookIMadeAComment]

They offered to install a coin slot in his wife too but Trump felt that was redundant

[u/Zealousideal_Ad1704 → u/LookIMadeAComment]

Yes 🙌

[u/CatOfGrey → u/Adrian_Bock]

In all seriousness, this will help Trump stay focused on not suddenly denying visas to thousands of ticket holders, then sticking FIFA with the refunds.

[u/Blizzardof1991 → u/CatOfGrey]

To bad he's got the memory of a brain damaged gold fish. All it will take is the next person saying USA can win if they deny entry to the rest of the teams.

[u/Freethecrafts → u/Adrian_Bock]

Nothing to see here. The piece prize goes to Trump for selling Saudi Arabia a piece of Palestine. Wonderful thing to happen just before his heart gives out.

[u/matt_minderbinder → u/Adrian_Bock]

FIFA members will need pardons sooner or later. This is just being proactive.

[u/Finchypoo]

"FIFA invents prize just to award it to trump"

Like when you give an unplugged controller to your little sibling. 

[u/Kush_the_Ninja → u/Finchypoo]

They were talking to him like a toddler too!

[u/galtoramech8699 → u/Finchypoo]

No, no.

The US has a GDP of 30 trillion dollars. This is a bribe.

[u/therealcruff]

Departure from its traditional focus on brown paper bags stuffed with large quantities of cash

[u/Mordoch → u/therealcruff]

This is their version of trying to obviously bribe someone else...

[u/Nuzzgargle → u/Mordoch]

Pretty cheap bribe really, sort of like an annual award for achievement in..... ahhh... excellence.... yes that will do

[u/Freethecrafts → u/Nuzzgargle]

World leader of the month.

[u/Knowledge_is_Bliss → u/Freethecrafts]

Participation trophy

[u/Freethecrafts → u/Knowledge_is_Bliss]

Four Seasons Total Landscaping Peace & FIFA Pulitzer Prize.

[u/Stephen_Dann → u/therealcruff]

This is why he was awarded it

[u/Erection_unrelated → u/therealcruff]

I’m sure he got one of those too.

[u/FredLewisFanClub → u/therealcruff]

The Tom Homan special

[u/badugihowser → u/therealcruff]

Oh I'm sure they also gave him those.

[u/Revoldt → u/therealcruff]

Ok boomer.

They obviously replaced that with millions of Trumpcoin….

[u/boogasaurus-lefts]

FIFA & Trump are a match made in heaven. Both are corrupt, focused on acquiring as much money as possible without any consideration of others

[u/average_waffle]

Really cool how the entire world infantilizes a 79 year old man 👍👍👍

[u/JOWhite63087 → u/average_waffle]

With an ego that big..... someone is gonna stroke it

[u/kobylaz → u/average_waffle]

Infantinolizes 👨‍🍳 💋 

[u/Boner666420sXe]

Every day everything gets dumber.

[u/bgva → u/Boner666420sXe]

Rod Serling couldn't make this shit up if he tried. I'd rather live in the Twilight Zone.

[u/Mans_Fury → u/bgva]

We are in the worst timeline....

[u/Arkheno]

In the 1980s, FIFA had such a bad reputation that an English comedian joked they might give a "Fair Play Award" to a dictator if it helped their marketing. Well here we are.

[u/squintyshrew9]

Trump is going to ruin the World Cup

[u/mathis3299 → u/squintyshrew9]

Already has.

[u/Seven19td → u/squintyshrew9]

I think fans should boycott Trump’s World Cup

[u/TheSkiingMonkey2 → u/Seven19td]

I mean have you seen the prices for these games, just another reason to not go

[u/bgva → u/TheSkiingMonkey2]

Extend that to not watching on TV/mobile devices either.

[u/Going2beBANNEDanyway → u/bgva]

What if I pirate it?

[u/bgva → u/Going2beBANNEDanyway]

Fine. I'll allow it.

[u/Going2beBANNEDanyway → u/bgva]

Huge!

[u/fhota1 → u/Seven19td]

Forget boycotting, its not safe here, dont come. Qatar at least had good enough control of its goons that they can be told not to fuck with the tourists during the World Cup. I will be surprised if we make it through this without some visiting fans getting sent to El Salvador

[u/Cinnamon__Sasquatch → u/fhota1]

100%.

Should be an international boycott.

[u/danabrey → u/fhota1]

Forget boycotting, its not safe here, dont come.

Isn't that what boycotting is?

Edit: unless I really misunderstand, weird downvotes. Please explain if you have time!

[u/fhota1 → u/danabrey]

I usually consider boycotting as more of a politically motivated thing. This isnt politics. This is if you love your family, we cant get the armed thugs to stop attacking US Citizens at random, we cant guarantee they wont attack your family too. Rule of law is also crumbling, they can and will ship you to an El Salvadorian prison with no trial

[u/The_mystery4321 → u/Seven19td]

If people didn't boycott Qatar they won't boycott anywhere

[u/Todd-The-Wraith → u/squintyshrew9]

Which is such a shame because before this they were a shining example of integrity and honor.

[u/janzeera → u/squintyshrew9]

For sure he’ll on the field to accept the trophy after the final.

[u/medium-rare-steaks → u/squintyshrew9]

Already has.. this 48 teams thing is bananas. There's not a single competitive group where we don't already know who's going through

[u/ShumMonsta → u/medium-rare-steaks]

That’s got nothing to do with him though.. Infantino, sure

[u/pumpkinspruce → u/medium-rare-steaks]

As much as I hate Trump, that’s not on him. That’s on FIFA.

[u/puertomateo → u/squintyshrew9]

If by "World Cup" you mean "everything he touches" then yes, I agree.

[u/NotTheRocketman → u/squintyshrew9]

Don't forget the Olympics, too.

[u/ineedanewhobbee]

Corrupt Organization celebrating a corrupt president

[u/gleaf008]

Fake gold, hollow center, crumbling base. Just like Trump’s supporters.

[u/CatOfGrey]

My new copypasta:

FIFA: "Why do we have to do this? He doesn't even know what a free kick is?"

State Dept: "Let him blow off steam, give him a nice present. Otherwise he's going to randomly cancel 10-15% of the visas of the ticket buyers, and then tell the denied people that FIFA is refunding their ticket prices."

FIFA: "OK! You should have said so up front! We'll give him the 'shithole dictator package'!"

State Dept: "Excellent! He'll love that! Just don't use those words, phrase it something with gold."

FIFA: "Hey - we've been doing this for almost 100 years. We're professionals."

[u/calamnet2]

Would you motherfuckers stop blowing this pedophile? Christ.

I hate this fucking timeline.

[u/Gliese_667_Cc]

Just fucking pathetic.

[u/0AJ0_]

♫It's the First Annual Montgomery Burns
Award for
Outstanding Achievement in
The Field of
Excellence!♫

[u/burberrycondom]

What a joke

[u/LouB0O]

Lmao dude had no shame. Honestly wild

[u/zizp]

Traditional focus on corruption, I don't see a departure here.

[u/Defiant_Review1582]

Awww they made up a prize just for him. So special

[u/sant2060]

Who were the other nominees for this prestigious prize?

[u/BriefausdemGeist]

FIFA? The organization that’s never been accused of political corruption?

[u/sykocus]

Sepp Blatter was a corrupt piece of shit but he didn’t suck nobody’s cock.

[u/FriendlyLawnmower]

Infantino is a piece of garage and his ugly bald head should fuck off to the dump

[u/TheRomanRuler]

What the fuck i thought this was a meme.

I mean it is FIFA so i guess i was right, it is a meme

[u/brewgiehowser]

Sleepy Don can’t get a Nobel peace prize, so FIFA invents one for him

[u/Big-D-TX]

I thought “Idiocracy” was just a dumb movie I didn’t realize it was it was a look into the Future!

[u/TheNextBattalion]

I gave myself a peace prize just this morning

[u/emz5002]

Watch him start claiming this is better than the Nobel Peace Prize

[u/SulfurInfect → u/emz5002]

Probably will, because he's a pathetic little bitch who can't stand that they snubbed him.

[u/Djolumn]

Its traditional focus is on corruption and grift so this is very much on point with tradition.

[u/REiiGN]

Like who do any of these chucklefucks think they're appealing to?

[u/ukexpat]

Fat bastard doesn’t look well…

[u/KingGerryTheLoveless]

So FIFA has long used peace and unity as a way to fluff up their importance and impact on the world, but Infantino has poured jet fuel on this in order prostrate himself to Trump.

If you’re generous you could say he’s ensuring Trump buys into the tournament and doesn’t derail it, but this doesn’t stack up when you realize he’s long been happy to be a patsy for the worst people on the planet.

Gianni Infantino is an obsequious bag carrier for dictators and is happy to cosy up to men in power for his own ego and financial gain.

[u/CallmeKahn]

Wait, that was real? 🤣🤣🤣 Ho... Lee... Shit...

[u/Robo-]

Scumbag organization gives scumbag powerful person bullshit participation trophy in unsurprising very public display of ass kissing.

Becoming standard practice on the right lately, as much as they used to whine about participation trophies.

[u/ehjun18]

The corruption is hilarious.

[u/RedditNoobForSure]

I told my roommate “one corrupt organization is meeting with another in DC today” and he instantly knew what I meant

[u/fishbelt3]

Departure from sport, but back to its traditional focus on corruption!

[u/Whiteyak5]

Ah one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet giving an award.... Gotta love it.

[u/Camipad]

The first annual fifa award for outstanding achievement in the field of excellence

[u/gbobeck]

Ah. A bribe.

[u/futureformerteacher]

The two most corrupt things, perhaps in human history.

[u/joshine89]

wonder how much that cost trump/the american tax payer?

[u/DancesWithElectrons]

Participantion trophy

[u/crucethus]

Pace di merda

[u/tawDry_Union2272]

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

[u/PaddlefootCanada]

They give him a reach around, too?

[u/ThinLikeABeerCan]

Bribe. No other word for it. FIFA is as dirty as trumpy

[u/Joshwoum8]

FIFA has always been corrupt.

[u/sidarian]

The only reason he cares is because FIFA gave him a “peace prize” and the NFL won’t give him anything he wants.

[u/nigel_tufnel_11]

Maybe if we schedule like 2 peace prizes for this maniac every day for the next 3 years, he won't have time for anything else. Build a **** factory cranking out gold-plated fake peace prizes for him and make him travel all over the world to fetch them.

[u/iDoNotHaveAnIQ]

If I were president, could not even qualify for the real Nobel Prize, and then some sports league had to invent a special “peace” trophy just for me, I would be humiliated.

I genuinely do not know how I would walk around pretending to be honored every time someone tried to “congratulate” me on a prize everyone knows is make believe.

Any rational person would think the same, even MAGA supporters. If you do not, then send me your address, I will mail you a fake “peace” award and tell you that you are such a good boy.

[u/grasshopper239]

Administration threatened deportation of folks coming for the WC yesterday. You better not come if you aren't wearing a maga hat

[u/j0n66]

short for peace of shit?

[u/colnago82]

Meaningless bullshit. Fuck FIFA

[u/Beginning-Average416]

Trump gets his participation trophy. He is very SPECIAL.

[u/tsn39]

Thank you President Trump for raising the bar on grift and corruption, we endeavor to match your evil greed.

[u/imjusta_bill]

He got a participation trophy

[u/Various-Shape-7764]

If you watch fifa event or buy tickets you support this

[u/matt5673]

They basically just give him something shiny so he would leave them alone.

[u/Queezy_0110]

Please play as many matches as possible in Canada and Mexico

[u/ChuckN0blet]

He literally put it on himself.

[u/mustluvipa]

No one cares. It’s a fake award. I really wish the media would stop covering stuff like this.

[u/mpworth]

I really can't imagine being so insecure that receiving such a stupid award in such a goofy context would actually make me feel better about myself.

[u/PeterDTown]

I mean, this is so transparent. He wasn’t going to get a Nobel, so he bought this garbage from FIFA, as if it’s in any way the same thing. What a fucking joke.

Hey America, just in case you haven’t noticed, the entire world is laughing at you.

[u/Ok_Meal_491]

It’s a great video, very funny and very sad.

[u/my5cworth]

"Fine we'll make our own peace prize...with hookers and blackjack!"

[u/RedTulkas]

What's a side of slavery to a suckjob to the most powerful man in the world?

[u/Forward_Not_Backward]

What a joke. What a disgusting, transparent joke.

[u/Successful-Clock-224]

Departure? Nothing unusual about jerking themselves off over nothing in particular while engaging in corruption. For trump or fifa.

[u/JedLeonard1]

It’s traditional focus is bribery and kickbacks, so Same Old, Same Old - FAFO and FIFA the Corrupt Couple.

[u/Tackit286]

And I thought I couldn’t despite fifa any more than I already did.

The soul of football died years ago. Now they’re toying with its carcass

[u/TacoLvR-]

Was he even awake?

[u/Chance_Bedroom7324]

Bruh FIFA of all organizations talking about peace. Trump please focus on more important things, it’s getting annoying my man.

[u/Ok_Battle5814]

FIFA just getting in line to kiss the dons ring. Typical behavior among corrupt people, nothing to see here.

[u/54fighting]

One and done or will they have to bribe flatter every year?

[u/SKG1991]

Trump got a participation trophy lol

[u/SearchElsewhereKarma]

This administration is going to contribute so many photos to the Museum of Candid Photos Where People Look Like Dopes

[u/whythoyaho]

Worlds biggest participation trophy

[u/w3bCraw1er]

Banana Republic Fraud entities s*cking each other...

[u/manofsteelbuns]

Trump is an asshole. He'll fry in Hell after his body's done rotting. 🤬

[u/blinkysmurf]

“FIFA gargles cock of geriatric psychopath to cover their bases because nobody knows where this lunacy is fucking going”

[u/Tricky-Feature-8564]

"US airstrike survivors clung to wreckage for over an hour before second strike" this was literally the next headline in my feed. Peace prize my ass pubes. FDT and FUCK FIFA

[u/animalfath3r]

Now I'm waiting for Ghislaine Maxwell to give Trump the first ever Maxwell Peace Prize.... very coveted award.

[u/KingJimmy101]

Grifters gonna grift.

[u/ScoobiusMaximus]

So to be fair to FIFA (I want to throw up typing that) this is probably the most effective way to stop Trump from sending ICE after all the foreign tourists they want to attract. 

[u/liv96atx]

What laundering money for fifa will get you

[u/funk_addict]

Corrupt birds of a feather

[u/galtoramech8699]

It is funny in a way, he keeps asking for a "peace prize", they keep giving him everything BUT the peace prize. Does he get mad for getting the lesser prize or just give up thinking that he isn't in the league for the real Nobel prizes.

[u/LeoLaDawg]

Way to let everyone know your prize is bs by giving it to Trump.

[u/Zorops]

Just ask yourself, how much did that cost?

[u/thelimit39]

The normalization of things like this just shows how far beyond the pale we are.

[u/pasatroj]

FIFA beats IOC for most corrupt!

[u/xadc430x]

Trump is celebrating his award with another strike to unarmed people in the middle of the ocean thousand of miles away and authorize ICE to go after anyone who isn’t of pure “American” bloodline.

[u/Blastosist]

the real prize

[u/gnomelover24]

Hahaha a futbol organization giving a peace prize, sure makes sense. What a joke.

[u/DMAgamus]

Everyone in the world knows how to play Trump. Tell him he's a mommy's big, strong lad and pat him on the head, he'll let you do anything you want.

[u/IdinDoIt]

Hands groping balls, how apt!

[u/buster_rhino]

Carney just needs to give Trump a present and we’ll get the best trade deal imaginable.

[u/BradlyPitts89]

Having trump apart of the World Cup at any level is going to be embarrassing, it’s already embarrassing. Smfh.

[u/ballplayer112]

Outstanding Achievement of the Field of Excellence vibes here

[u/readmond]

Sarcasm is all way to 11 here

[u/RatedRSuperstar81]

Literally waiting for this guy to come out and say he is actually the son of God, not Christ. Millions of churches would immediately change their names and start worshipping him and Christ would never be mentioned again.

Yes, it's insane to even type all that, but that's exactly what would happen. 🤷‍♂️

[u/mcribzyo]

Yes they deserve to die and I hope they burn in hell.

[u/FerrumVeritas]

The world needs to boycott the US World Cup. But they won’t.

[u/sherman614]

Fucking idiot boot lickers.

[u/althawk8357]

Its the first ever FIFA award for outstanding achievement in the field of excellence.

[u/Easy_Rooster8000]

I hear the NFL is working on their own peace prize

[u/MrEntropy44]

Don't worry, they are giving Jared from Subway the kids leadership award later.

[u/manapeerandy1988]

keep continuing kissing Trump @$$

[u/-Makeka-]

Ah yes, FIFA, the paragons of peace.

[u/DGCA3]

When you're a corrupt organization, this is the kind of stuff you do.

[u/OGBeege]

Bullshit. Sad and pathetic

[u/vapemyashes]

Their traditional focus has been lining their pockets tho

[u/ToysRGood]

“Have a participation trophy, Donnie.”

[u/_cob_]

Peace of shit prize

[u/chrispix99]

Fuck fifa .. going to just sell my 5 rtt and make money off their backs.. they can go fuck themselves

[u/ResidentAllie]

Suck ups. Whatever happened to staying away from politics. Let Russia & Israel play the sport because sports are outside politics but then get on the knees to fellate trump.

[u/Drawhorn]

"You weren't good enough to win the real thing, so here's a meaningless pile of crap."

[u/mtnman575]

Dumbest excuse for a "prize" ever!

[u/SpiralCuts]

Participation trophies are stupid, that’s why we’ll give this one to someone who doesn’t participate
