We are all wrapped up in our gift giving, mounds of junk food, endless family gatherings, and holiday parties. Soon we will all be counting down from 10 to say \u201cHappy New Year\u201d with our friends, and family. We here at Sports Douchebags have an annual countdown tradition also.<\/p>\n<p>This list of the\u00a0<strong>Top 10 Douchebags of 2016\u00a0<\/strong>takes a look back on the year to celebrate all the Douchiness we\u2019ve witnessed in the sports world. It&#8217;s easy to forget all the unwitting Douchiness we&#8217;ve all absorbed.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>To clarify, this is a list for sports world related douchebags. I&#8217;m sure we all would put Hillary, Trump, Bernie, the DNC, the RNC, Russia, Wikileaks, whatever on your own personal list for 2016. This is sports world only, where we can bury our heads and forget about all that mess.<\/p>\n<p>I know you&#8217;re all anxious to see this year&#8217;s winners, but first let\u2019s pause to appreciate the past #1s who have fallen off the list in 2016.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Floyd Mayweather &#8211; 2015<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Has tried to stay in the spotlight as much as possible. His social media feud with Conor McGregor is more cute than douchy.

Just technically not in sports anymore.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Justin Bieber &#8211; 2014 &amp; 2015 top 5 &#8211;<\/strong> On the list by association, and for his supreme level of douchiness.

I just couldn&#8217;t imagine myself doing what he did. I\u2019d rather work, and build a team ground up. He jumped ship, that alone isn&#8217;t bad players do it all the time. He jumped to the team that needed him least, in search of the path of least resistance to the finals. Punk move, or should I say Douche Move.

Like Lochte his hair is enough to make this list. Combine that with his \u201cMe 1st attitude\u201d, his \u201clook at me\u201d TD celebrations, and his ridiculous sideline antics with kicking nets. Seriously WTF is wrong with this guy? He should just play the game and STFU. I imagine Eli hates himself for every TD throw to him.
