    It was not Europeans. It was the British. And it was the upper class British. Specifically at the Oxford University. The people in both continental Europe and Britain always called it football.

    “Soccer” is technically a slur for lower class football.

    Even the British call it football now, but the soccer slur still lives on in America and other colonies.

      “It wasn’t Europeans, it was this group of people from Europe.”

        A small group of people from of a single country does not represent the entire population of the continent.

        The sentence "Americans say ‘aloha’ instead of ‘hello’* is just as right or wrong.

      America: I’m not seeing the issue here.
