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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

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.

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"

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

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.

Wait, I thought that /r/football was about ๐Ÿˆ and that's why they had to go to soccer ๐Ÿค”

Really curious how this happened

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

It happened a while back. r/football actually sponsors a football team now, via some reddit program they won.
