What's your annoyance with FIFA?
They tried to extract more money than usual from Electronic Arts when licensing the FIFA trademark for making videogames and as a result managed to convince Electronic Arts to give them the finger and keep making soccer games WITHOUT the FIFA brand because fsck them.
Also they made some half hearthed marketing attempts at racial politics in the sort of way that pleases nobody.
And they are bullies who threaten teams and clubs into with not letting them play in FIFA events if they take part in any big event that is not within the FIFA scope.
Also soccer is boring and the only reason it gets any endorsement from me is it brings people together - which is actually the reason why some people are trying to tear its reputation down.
