Football: The Most Annoying Thing About the Sport?

A thought hit me—what's the most annoying thing in football?

It gave my mind the opportunity to explore the rough side of football and sport in general.

I kept on pondering over the thoughts that peered into my head. Racism? Diving? Drugs?

I couldn't reach a conclusion quickly. Could it be Disrespecting the Referee?

"Disrespecting the Referee," I repeated as Ashley Cole popped into my head and his "back towards the Referee" controversy with Mike Riley.

It is annoying, but is it the most annoying? "Most annoying," I repeated.

Brawls? Abusing the supporters? Physically abusing teammates?

Ideas, ideas, and more ideas, but no conclusion.

"Physically abusing teammates," I repeated as Joey Barton's training ground brawl with Ousmane Dabo hit me.

"Diving," I repeated as various instances of Didier Drogba going down too easily in the box came into my mind.

After an hour or so of "deep" thinking, I settled for Racism as the most annoying thing in football, and in all sports for that matter.

Zenit St Petersburg coach Dick Advocat recently said he'd never go in the market for black players.

Andrew McNair covered the story for Bleacher Report and I strongly supported his opinion.

Racism is the most pathetic thing that can happen sport. Do you agree with me? Do you think Racism is the most annoying thing in football? Is it something else? Feel free to leave a comment.
