Section about criticism?[edit]

there are number of sources which claim about elctoral fraud:

Eurosport [1]: After the awards, coaches from Bolivia, Albania, Equatorial Guinea, Dominican Republic, Fiji, Kuwait and Vanuatu alleged that the voting was rigged.

Independet [in the title] [2] Juvenal Edjogo: ‘These awards have no value’ — Former player shocked that his vote changed during 2013 Ballon d’Or involving Cristiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi (apart form Independet there are also some perhaps bit less reliable like The Sun or Sportbible for that matter)

Number of sources [3],[4],[5]: Coaches from Bolivia, Albania, Equatorial Guinea, Dominican Republic, Fiji, Kuwait and Vanuatu have alleged that the 2013 Ballon d’Or votes were rigged, according to Catalan outlet La Xarxa and and Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo.

And of course there are many other articles about criticism of the system but in other wasy than electoral fraud. Grammy Award have so long section that could be even separate article like this, so tehe is uch practice on Wikipedia. Regards Dawid2009 (talk) 22:11, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
