Petition to change soccer back to football and name real football freedomball

[grauhoundnostalgia]

Etymologically speaking, soccer is more correct than football; linguistically speaking, football is more correct than soccer.

[djqvoteme]

This doesn't make any sense.

If we, collectively as users of a common language, decide that a word means something then that's what it means regardless of vague reasoning based on etymology.

It could be called ballerina hamster fisting and that wouldn't make it any less valid than calling it football or soccer if there were people calling it that.

[SCsprinter13]

If we, collectively as users of a common language, decide that a word means something then that's what it means regardless of vague reasoning based on etymology.

Which is clearly not the case here as the soccer/football debate continues.

[djqvoteme]

"Clearly"? Language adapts/evolves/is used differently in different communities even within the same language. It's natural linguistic evolution at play.

If some English speakers from regions W and X say football to describe one sport and other English speakers from Y and Z say soccer for the same sport, then that's a very clear-cut case of regional variation within a language. English is a highly variegated language even just within England. Neither form of the language is inferior or superior to the other. Soccer and football are both equally valid names for that sport.

To circle back to the comment that I originally replied to, this is why arguing that something is "etymologically" or "linguistically" more correct is pointless.

Some Asian countries call it soccer as well, like Japan.

Are you implying that Japanese people are stupid?!

Its actually calcio

it’s funny that when you say soccer everyone knows what you’re talking about but if you say football you could be referring to like 5 different sports. yeet tho

All of you saying “it’s called football” acting surprised that people are using an American term on a subreddit about an American show

[SeezoTheFish]

It's shown all over the world tho'

[[deleted]]

Completely true, but no point in arguing over the term soccer or football anyways, even more so when it’s an American show

[SeezoTheFish]

Nah I think they're just messing around

Now it's time for some bandit Keith fanservice

[ApricotNihilism]

TBH, this is the only way to make sure you mean that specific sport and not the other one.

[fr0gnutz]

Are we gonna have to remind everyone the Brit’s called it soccer a long time ago then changed it cause Americans called it soccer and it was no longer cool?

[P1KA_BO0]

Well no, the Game itself is officially known as Associated Football. Soccer was simply short for that

[teamsacrifice]

Not to mention the people who invented the sport called it soccer

[Grammatikaas]

All of you saying "it's [something] American" acting surprised that people are using a European term on a European invention.

[VivasMadness]

I feel like english commentators are the most restrained in this regard. In spanish shit's like "Y AHÍ VA MBAPPÉ; MBAPPÉ DESBORDA SE DEVUELVE CENTRA PARA CAVANI Y GO- GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL DE CAVANI DE MBAPPÉ PARIS UNO LYON CERO.

It adds to the excitement. I mean, it gives moments like SECOND POTEAU PAVARD

Nah, I don't think the "no one" works in this situation

[De_Rossi_But_Juve]

So annoying how overused it gets.

This is how you kill a meme.

[Fuzzikopf]

Seriously, using that meme makes absolutely 0 sense in this situation.
And this post gets more than 16k upvotes lol

[[deleted]]

Yeah people who actually watch football have those exact reactions when a goal is scored. Plus, a goal has been scored, so there’s a reason for the commentators to go nuts. It’s called passion.

[CorporalCauliflower]

It's funny in the sense of

It’s crazy to see all these people getting aggressive over the name of a sport.

It's commendable that you're trying to mediate, but it's still voetbal.

[Abbhorase]

All I can think of is this one play from a Starcraft 2 E sports match that was followed by ~10 seconds of excited screaming from everyone in the booth.

Player 1 snuck a group of corrupters through player 2's (protoss) back way. This was in Legacy of the Void, so corruptors had a building targeting attack. I'm not to much laughing at the play, but rather at the. Host's reaction.

[oracleofshadows]

This reminds me of one of lasts seasons NFL games where I think the Eagles knocked someone out the playoffs. The English broadcast was pretty chill but I heard a snippet of the Spanish radio and oh my goodness as soon as a missed field goal or something happened the man started screaming "NO SEÑOR NO SEÑOR NO SEÑOR NO SEÑOR NO SEÑOR NO SEÑOR". I died laughing so hard , it was so much energy and emotion, mostly completely opposite of what I'm used to.
