Talk:João Havelange

Talk

• He was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1988.

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)

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

Medal

This: http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/especial/2007/jogospanamericanos/medalhistas_brasileiros-1951.shtml says the water polo medal was silver. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.197.70.83 (talk) 15:10, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:João Havelange/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The basic information seems to be in order, but very little is said about Havelange's shady ways in securing the support of FIFA members, often bordering on bribery.
