For as ****** as the old BCS was for college football, their trophy was ******* legit. The crystal football that gets shattered because players drop it or knock it off the stand was instantly recognizable.

This trophy is still awarded to whichever team is voted #1 by the Coaches' poll.

FIFA describes the trophy as “a priceless icon” which “can only be touched and held by a very select group of people, which includes former winners of the FIFA World Cup and heads of state.”

Only certain people can touch it? That's almost as stupid as salt boi.

"A priceless icon which can only be touched and held by a very select group of people" is coincidentally also how I describe my junk.
So something women don't care to touch but dudes love caressing.

Priceless icon or not, if you can’t drink out of it it’s not a cup.

Fun fact in.... 2009 I think? I was at a press conference and they had the World Cup Trophy. I respected the protocol and only took a photo from afar but there were like two or three people who went up and touched it. The very concerned trophy handler (who wore gloves so as to not actually touch the trophy) didn't say anything until someone took out a camera at which point the whole thing was shut down.

Meanwhile the Webb Ellis Trophy for the Rugby World Cup gets abused for chugalugs and then punted around the winners' dressing room. Because ... rugby.
