    They got validated by Trump receiving the Nobel Peace Price medal.

    Are they saying that the image of the Nobel Peace Price is so bad that the FIFA peace price shouldn’t be associated with it?

      Trump receiving the Nobel Peace Price medal

      That’s just wild…

      Do you honestly think trump “received a novel peace prize” because some idiot who should have never been awarded one gifted trump a physical medal?

      Like, I’m literally dumbfounded here, please elaborate on what you think happened with trump and a Nobel peace prize.

        I agree. So if the Nobel Peace Prize Committee is not ashamed, why should FIFA be?

          What?!

          If you bought a bronze Olympic medal at a pawn shop, would you start declaring that you were awarded a bronze Olympic medal?

          What the actual fuck are you even talking about?

            Machado was asking for a regime change before she received the prize. So either the commitee was sloppy or they gave her the prize for that. Now if Trump fulfills her request, how much more worthy is he of a peace prize?

            Downvoters, start here:

            In June 2023, El País described her as radical in the sense of believing only military intervention could remove Maduro, and as coming from the most radical wing of the political right and the Venezuelan opposition,

              Alright…

              This is the point I give up on you ever being able to understand this.

              I’m gonna go do something that has a chance of being productive, like teaching my dog how to do a one dog performance of The Nutty Proffesor, there’s a slight chance he pulls it off.

              You’re never going to understand trump wasn’t awarded a fucking Nobel

                I didn’t say that he got it. FIFA just doesn’t have to be ashamed of awarding their medal as long as we respect the Nobel prize.

      FIFA are trend setters. Surely, there’s a line forming of other Nobel Laureates excited to turn over their medals for a favor from POTUS.

          Are you suggesting that Obama is one of the Nobel Laureates negotiating to gift his medal to Trump? What do you think a former President wants from the current President?

            No. I am pointing out that Obama had received the prize in advance to make him bring peace instead of celebrating good deeds afterwards. In a way, they did already “turn over their medal for a favor from POTUS”.
