    Doesn’t change the fact that football makes more sense and that while the British did come up with soccer literally every country uses something like football.

      this also doesnt change the fact that if we called football football and football football we would be confusing football with football, and football with football, instead of having two succinct names that are clearly identifiable.

      And even then most words don’t make very much sense. It’s just english.
