Why not

Anyone who’s paid the least bit of attention already knew FIFA is one of the world’s most corrupt organisations, and for anyone who still didn’t know this, they just made it transparent:

Players often face fines and bans from FIFA for displaying political messages, as the football governing body has long proclaimed a policy of political neutrality.
But on Friday, the association’s chief Gianni Infantino handed United States President Donald Trump the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize, further cementing his embrace of the Republican leader.
Critics pointed out that the award came less than 24 hours after the Trump administration carried out another deadly air strike in the Caribbean.
Craig Mokhiber, a former United Nations official who has campaigned to suspend Israel from world football over its genocidal war in Gaza, called the award to Trump a “truly shameful development”.
Infantino has refused to take action against Israel, arguing that football “cannot solve geopolitical” issues. […]
Infantino has previously warned against using football to stoke division. “There’s no more powerful tool than sport to unite the people,” he said in 2023. “Now we have to protect the autonomy of sport: the political neutrality of sport and to protect the values of sport.”
Two years later, critics point out that Infantino has created a prize to celebrate peace and unity, and then handed it to a president who called people from Somalia “garbage” just days prior.
“Giving Donald Trump a prize for peace is like giving Luis Suarez a prize for not biting people’s ears off,” football journalist Zach Lowy wrote on social media, referring to the Uruguayan forward who has been caught up in at least three biting incidents on the pitch throughout his career.

Yeah, this is how this infernally stupid year ends, evidently. I mean, I know there’s a few weeks to go so things could get stupider, but this feels like a peak. I hope it’s a peak and that’s not just wishful thinking on my part… but as it stands, yeah. Why NOT give that tiny-penised traitor a “peace” prize, nothing else makes any fucking sense any more, it’s as logical as anything else that happens in the modern world. Remarkably unattractive trophy at that:
