For a man with countless abuse allegations, this trophy is not one that brings up good images. I don’t’ get it, even. If the Earth was a soccer ball, wouldn’t this be a “hand ball”.

It has a look of hands reaching up from the grave to grasp the planet.

I wish we could end FIFA.

FIFA has long been a corrupt organization, with its board accepting bribes from various countries to hold the World Cup there.

I think this is the answer.

Let’s get the priorities right: first end the current US administration. Then end FIFA, and finally the IOC.
