    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”

      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 🏈 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.
