Damned right!

I say they keep the award and give it to the biggest war monger asshole each time. Keep it an award of shame and ridicule, you know, just like it is now. www.nytimes.com/athletic/723...

Klaveness said FIFA should maintain its political independence. He added that he supported the complaint filed by the NGO FairSquare @fairsq.bsky.social against Infantino, accusing him of violating the principle of sporting neutrality. 👇 www.nytimes.com/athletic/723...
