  But you could, and it would certainly be less confusing than insisting on using the overloaded term “football.” Soccer is a grand old European term.

    And !politics@lemmy.world should be for world politics rather than only “US politics”

      I feel like you think that’s some kind of crazy own, but manifestly yes, that is correct. I don’t chat politics much, so that one doesn’t bother me as much, but I do talk a lot of soccer…

    There is football and there is american football. Nothing confusing about it.

      I have talked about the Sounders when I was supposed to be talking Seahawks and vice versa more times than I can count, so I’m not sure where you’re getting this “it’s not confusing” business from. It’s very confusing and I see it confuse people constantly.
