It seems that a lot of the resentment is just nit picking because it's the standard term used in the US. It's totally irrelevant and no more than snobbery on the part of those who try to make it an issue.

funny thing, i only recently read that. something about english schoolkids deriving the words Association --> Assoccer --> soccer.

but yes, it's global resentment/nitpicking-- much like the rest of the continent is bugged by the USA calling itself "America" (but when they did, everything else was colonies, so...). this only bugs me a little but eh--i'm a traitor.

Yeah, whatever. Football is for squares, no matter what you call it.

you should read her rants, though mostly as a medical curiosity.
I'm aware of her and her rants. She does what she does very well.

I'd be happier listening to one of her rants than watching a soccerball game.
