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.
I’d be posting as well, and if you see the NFL communities, they are also getting some momentum from Mastodon users.
Also, as @[email protected] brought up some time ago, it’s not soccer, it’s football
But don’t get another domain just for us
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.
