A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award. And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

Pay attention to how media covers this draw. Who calls out the issues and which ones gloss over it. Plenty of sports outlets are quite ready to play along with FIFA & Trump and they do not deserve neither your time nor your money.

The World Cup draw show was the world’s worst, most embarassing, sycophantic mess — SB Nation
The 2026 FIFA World Cup draw aired on Friday, and I’m envious if you didn’t waste your time on the worst sports-adjacent broadcast of all time.

There is a very serious point to be made here on a mere football organisation publicly pushing such politicised interpretations of global diplomatic deals and talks.

NWSL and WNBA also attract a variety of sportwashing that imo is even more nefarious than the petrostate variety, which is assholes who want to present themselves as Women Respecters because they own a women's sports team

FIFA no va a hacer nada pero CONMEBOL debería decir que la confederación no jugará en los EEUU cuando está atacando uno de sus países. FIFA won’t do shit but CONMEBOL should say that their confederation won’t play in the US while it’s attacking one of its countries.
