>You probably already know the word soccer comes from England, not the U.S. You know, the country that invented the game.
Frenchs claim they invented football. I never seen soccer word from any european TV's included english TV's.
>I had not thought of team nicknames being amusing but can see how they might be from a different POV. The reason is probably that we have multiple team sports, not just one. A headline of "Chicago beats New York" wouldn't be very useful if you didn't know whether it meant football, basketball, or hockey (all in season at the moment).
We have multiple team sports too. Basketball, volleyball, handball... Our men basketball and women volleyball teams are good. We have worlds number one volleyball women player. She is a cuba citizen.. Hehe...
I think so reason is your people see sport as an entertainment more from us. That's a good thing. I had just made a joke...
