I am not arguing that. I am just saying that this is a very lame reason to avoid using it.
If I had found any “football” or “footy” domain that costs less than an used car, I would have used it. But soccer was cheaper, and football@soccer is redundant and kind of senseless.
Nonsense. There is also /r/football, which is quite large and to me has more interesting discussion than /r/soccer and less obnoxious mods, but /r/soccer still maintains its dominance.
It’s not the name that matters. It’s the content and the match threads.
Buddy, you are running out of excuses… ;)
Just ask any European football fan how they call the game

To be fair, it kind of irritates me now to have to go to /r/soccer on Reddit
That might be one way to get people there to give Lemmy a try “it’s finally the proper name of the game”

Wait, I thought that /r/football was about 🏈 and that’s why they had to go to soccer 🤔
Really curious how this happened
It happened a while back. r/football actually sponsors a football team now, via some reddit program they won.
