#FIFA has long been corrupt.

This is just another shining example...

A shiny gold pacifier for an 80-year-old petulant child.

‘This is pathetic:’ Fans react as Trump receives first ever FIFA Peace Prize

FIFA said the president had ‘championed the unifying power of football on the world stage’

@isabelwilson Indeed which is why I called it a #FifaFail.
After promising that attendees can wear their #RainbowBucketHats those were removed.

I've plenty of #HumanRights and value them enough that I want everyone to have them.

In Iran I won't be put to death for being straight, can't say the same for those who are #LBGT in that country. I don't believe that the Qatar gov/ morality police will allow LGBT visitors to hold hands in public.

Personally don't really give a toss about the world cup - but was glad to hear the Iranian team stayed silent in protest to their government.

@CriticalCupcake Turn it inside out, to get in. I was half-expecting such reactions. Totally inappropriate for a supposedly “pro-diversity” tournament #fifafail #lgbt #DiversityMatters

@NationCymru thanks for sharing. I recommend removing the quotes from "bloody crackdown"--it's not editorializing to call it that when over 300 people have been killed. I hold out no hope for FIFA taking any action. #fifafail
@Fanua good. Their country is horrible #fifafail #worldcupfail #humanrightswatch
@NationCymru they should wear them and the US team should wear them. #onelove #stopoppression #fifafail
