FIFA's President, The US Leader and the Pursuit for Global Harmony: A FIFA-Style Initiative

'VARIOUS IDEOLOGIES … DIFFERENT APPROACHES …'

After María Corina Machado won this year's Nobel Peace Prize for her "persistent efforts promoting civil liberties", Donald Trump reacted with exactly the kind of magnanimous behavior you would anticipate. After persistently run a push of self-aggrandizement to make certain he received the honor personally, the leader promptly claimed responsibility for the South American opposition leader's triumph, enumerated his own self-announced and regularly questionable successes in the domain of world conflict resolution and criticized the authority of the committee who chose not to award the recognition, financial compensation and document to him.

While security concerns indicate it remains to be seen if the newly crowned peace prize winner will appear from concealment to pick up her accolade directly at the Scandinavian presentation in December, a certain overly deferential soccer organization chief seems hell-bent on appropriating her thunder regardless. Indeed, the FIFA president has decided to award a recognition for harmony of his personal invention in front of a global TV audience of hundreds of millions international football fans in the preceding days in the American capital.

An individual who has over many years preached the importance of maintaining governmental issues away from football, specifically when they're the type of ideological stances he considers uncomfortable or merely objects to, the FIFA leader utilized his stage at the America Business Forum in the coastal metropolis to bang his drum about the ability of football to bring together citizens of all races and faith, especially those who have additional over five thousand dollars available to buy variable cost Geopolitics World Cup passes.

"Within an increasingly unsettled and fragmented global community, it is crucial to recognize the outstanding contribution of people who strive earnestly to resolve disagreements and connect communities in a mindset of harmony", he parped. "Football symbolizes peace and representing the complete sports family, the Fifa Peace Prize – Football Unites The World will celebrate the significant endeavors of these people who bring together individuals, providing confidence for tomorrow's world."

But who could he mean? Although the football official was careful not to give specific indications regarding the individual of the inaugural award's lucky recipient, he went on to move into an almost certainly separate and flattering homage to his current Personal Ally (Or For The Immediate Future), Trump. His statements certainly had the planned result. Globally, the most skeptical among us were joined in asserting they recognized exactly who would be winning the Artificial Harmony Award, with various people even advancing to state completely unfounded allegations that the legally adjudicated and sports rule-breaking individual being discussed might even have compelled the FIFA head to invent the honor simply to compensate for the president's perception of unfairness at missing out on the real thing.

As believable a circumstance as it appears, Football Daily begs to differ, if only because in the preceding period the progressively ridiculous Fifa boss has burrowed his way so far into the president's favor that it's very likely this latest idea was truly his original concept.

And although it's reasonable to suppose it stays past the president's restricted imagination to deliver the mother of all curveballs by handing Fifa's first (and potentially concluding) harmony award to Greta Thunberg, the Ukrainian leader or that member of Atalanta's coaching staff who got between Ademola Lookman and the coach to prevent an unpleasant important competition sideline confrontation, it's possible to wish the Chelsea player and his club colleagues are invited along to Washington dressed in gear to conduct a revenge-hijack of the leader's award event.

That particular golden debatable award, or whatever other equally appropriate trinket the football official decides to present the chief executive for his services to international unity and togetherness, would adequately compensate for the victory honor he infamously appropriated and kept during the Club World Cup final award event.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"Someone who worked a lot with rock stars told me that the period that they reach renown is the period they persist for the rest of their life. I reflected: 'That doesn't bode well for me.' I found myself subject to media attention at sixteen and thrust in front of journalists. You grow up, you become a dad, but you remain a soccer player. And then, abruptly, it stops but your whole identity is still associated in the sport" – the retired athlete is on good form in this superb discussion.
