On December 5th of this year, another farce will be played out at the #WorldCup2026 draw in Washington DC.
Background:
- #FIFA has been facing criticism over holding the World Cup in the USA because Trump's Gestapo/ICE troops are terrorizing any non-white individuals. How many fans will be comfortable traveling to that environment?
- Trump has been threatening to move World Cup matches from any city that doesn't bend the knee to him. FIFA is politely telling the White House that matches can't be moved at this point, and please stop the rhetoric because it only makes teams and fans nervous.
- Yesterday, FIFA announced a new "Peace Prize" that will be awarded on December 5th.
The FIFA Peace Prize is, IMO, a bribe or suck-up strategy to influence Trump, who is obviously still hurt over his missed Nobel Peace Prize. Once it's awarded to Trump - very, very likely - it further cements FIFA's reputation as a trash organization.
