FIFA's President, The US Leader and the Quest for Global Harmony: A FIFA-Style Approach
'VARIOUS IDEOLOGIES … DIFFERENT APPROACHES …'
Following the Venezuelan opposition leader won the latest prestigious peace award for her "dedicated work advocating for democratic rights", the American president reacted with the sort of generous reaction people could predict. Having persistently run a push of self-aggrandizement to guarantee he won it himself, the leader quickly took responsibility for the South American political figure's success, listed his own personally declared and regularly debatable successes in the domain of international diplomacy and attacked the credibility of the committee who made the decision not to award the honor, financial compensation and diploma to him.
Although protection considerations mean it remains to be seen if the latest award recipient will come forward from hiding to pick up her honor personally at the Oslo ceremony in the final month, a certain excessively flattering football association leader seems intent on appropriating her thunder regardless. Yup, the FIFA president has decided to give a recognition for harmony of his original design in before a worldwide broadcast audience of hundreds of millions worldwide sports followers the previous week in the US city.
A person who has for years promoted the importance of preserving political matters separate from soccer, especially when they are the sort of ideological stances he finds inconvenient or simply doesn't like, the organization's head employed his stage at the American corporate gathering in the Florida city to bang his drum about the ability of football to unite citizens of every color and creed, especially those who have additional significant financial resources accessible to buy dynamically priced Geopolitics World Cup tickets.
"In a progressively uncertain and fragmented world, it is crucial to appreciate the exceptional effort of people who work hard to resolve disputes and connect communities in an attitude of peace", he parped. "Football symbolizes peace and representing the whole football community, the Football Unity Honor – Soccer Connects Globally will honor the tremendous endeavors of these people who unite people, offering hope for tomorrow's world."
Yet which individual could he indicate? Although Infantino was careful not to offer specific indications about the person of the inaugural award's fortunate winner, he proceeded to move into a likely separate and flattering recognition to his current Best Friend Forever (Or At Least Until August Next Year), the American leader. His comments certainly had the intended outcome. Internationally, the most doubtful of commentators were aligned in asserting they understood precisely who would be winning the Artificial Harmony Award, with some even progressing to make entirely baseless assertions that the legally adjudicated and sports rule-breaking man-baby in question might even have compelled the FIFA head to create it merely to make up for the president's perception of unfairness at failing to receive the genuine honor.
As believable a situation as it seems, Football Daily holds a different view, if only because in the preceding period the growingly preposterous football official has maneuvered himself to such an extent within the leader's circle that it's quite possible this latest idea was in fact his original concept.
And while one might reasonably conclude it stays past the administrator's restricted imagination to present the ultimate surprise by handing Fifa's first (and perhaps final) peace prize to the environmental campaigner, Volodymyr Zelenskyy or the person of Atalanta's coaching staff who got between the player and the coach to stop a disagreeable Bigger Cup sideline confrontation, one might desire the English defender and his football associates are asked to attend to Washington in full kit to conduct a revenge-hijack of Trump's presentation ceremony.
That particular metallic unflushable-turd-on-a-plinth, or any other equally suitable ornament Infantino chooses to present the chief executive for his contributions to world harmony and unity, would more than make up for the championship award he infamously took and retained during the international club championship honor occasion.

"An individual who collaborated extensively with entertainment icons advised me that the time that they become celebrity is the age they persist for the rest of their life. I reflected: 'That fails to promise favorably for me.' I found myself subject to media attention at young adulthood and thrust facing journalists. You mature, you become a parent, but you continue as a soccer player. Then, all of a sudden, it ends but your whole identity is still connected in the game" – Joe Cole is on good form in a excellent discussion.
