    Doubtful. Embarassment requires feeling shame, and neither the givers nor the recipient of the FIFA “Peace Prize” are capable of that.

    Growing?

    I’d say that was 100% embarrassing right from the moment they did it. Never have I seen such blatant corruption on display and all those involved at Fifa should be jailed

    Meh, the entire Fifa top should be jailed anyway because Fifa is corruption come to life, but here we are

    Growing? Haha, it was already the Mount Everest of embarrassment to start with, how could it grow. Corrupt boot licking fools.

    Professional sports is a racket anyway though right? Billionaire owners and their playboys? No thanks, not interested in their idea of sport, entertainment, and even more so, their leadership.

      As my wife is fond of saying, professional sports has far too much money involved to leave the results up to the athletes.

      Not always true, I’m sure, but not always far from the truth.
