Talk:João Havelange

Talk
Being nominated for the Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official and not necessarily prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements. Altogether, I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Willmcw 03:50, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
 *  He was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1988.

Why no mention of his corruption and that of his crony Blatter?
