    Probably because it just happened. The president of FIFA made up this “prize” to kiss Trump’s ass.

    It’s the same thing you do with a 5 year old, when he’s upset about not winning. Have your own “prize” at home.

    I’m going to give the fifa peace prize the same amount of respect I’d give a Nobel football world cup. Less even.

      It only got a short mention by Colin Jost at the top of Weekend Update:

      Trump has not yet won the Nobel Peace Prize, but he did win the equally prestigious Soccer Peace Prize.

      FIFA actually invented a fake peace prize in Trump’s honor, and that’s why the trophy shows Trump’s gnarled hands dragging Earth into Hell.

    I’m having a hard time identifying which one of them is more dumb. The first dumbass which thinks somebody cares what football CEO has to say in peace prize nomination, the second dumbass which thinks football CEO’s peace prize is legit or fist the dumbass which thinks that second dumbass is dumb enough to believe that it’s legit.

    I’ll should ask my pals to inaugurate me as humanity’s most seductive eyebrows holder of the history. They should establish international community of holy drunks of the John Paul the 2nd street, though.

      The first guy may be a dumbass but not because of this. FIFA is nothing if not corrupt and this is 100% greasing palms for Trump. They give him a huge ego boost to hopefully chill it on trying to move games or doing something insane during the World Cup.

      Like think of the logistic nightmare if he decides LA cant have a game and tries to move it to Kansas or Nebraska because they are good white christian areas with fewer brown people.

        Okay but how is this ego boost if everyone knows it’s just greasing.

        I mean, imagine you lost competition and started crying about it like a baby. Now someone comes in and gives you a medal from plastic for “doing great job” just to make you behave. Wouldn’t you look pathetic and not offensive to you?

    A peace prize from an organization who most likely complicit in human rights violations is pretty spot on.

      Yea, makes sense now. Trump literally does what the last person he speaks with asks him to do.
