    This sounds like a headline generated to take the heat off FIFA because look, they’re tackling the big issues now, fo real! I’m pretty sure the committee will come to the conclusion that nothing should be done in about 18 months time.

        They could revoke the price with the reason that they found out it must be assigned by the Nobel committee.
