Manage episode 523332662 series 3465230
When Gianni Infantino created FIFA’s Peace Prize, how could he have imagined that the inaugural winner would be his great friend Donald Trump.
But there Trump was on stage in Washington, presenting himself with the peace medal.
On Free State, Joe and Dion look at how FIFA cosied up to autocrats, snake oil salesmen and Trump.
They examine how money not only drives professional sport but has become the distorting lens. These days Trump may be a fan of the FIFA World Cup but he has always been a fan of money
