Before you try to pull something out of your hat on that one, look at what exactly is going on by giving Obama this award. People are heavily questioning both the actual awarding and the award itself now. I will say this much, your words have given me enough incentive now to go research this and the process. As you say, if it does also cover intent and not action only, then that's one more person who now could care less.
    Thing is, Whacker, people do care about it. This thread is proof of that, isn't it? So.... Logic Fail.

    Again, this prize isn't about this. The peace prize is created to further peace in the world, how many times do I have to say that? It is not a reward for achieving peace. There are other awards for that.

    The peace prize has never been about rewarding someone. It has always been a political tool to further an agenda. That was its intent.

    I will most certainly not.

    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
