>create the word soccer, short for association football
>gets mad when people call it soccer

why is this?
>>
>>67316951
The word was also quite common in England up until the 80s

We just don't like Americans so stopped using it
>>
>>67316951
Sometime in the mid-20th century, some Brits started believing that "soccer" was originally an American word. No clue who started that idea though.
>>
>Go to school
>Get shot
>Have to tip the ambulance driver and police afterwards
>Have to pay for the shooter's 4 children because it would be racist not to

Why is this?
>>
>>67316951
Isle of Mann, Ireland and Norn Iron not using football wew lad. I call it soccer when talking to Americans

there's only one football that matters, all those other irrelevant """"footballs"""" should get another name.

>wear our clothes, watch our movies, listen to our music, make your own music that's based on ours

I love when entire nations just randomly get extremely petty about stuff, like when the French government tried banning the words "hashtag" and "email" because they were too English-sounding.

What are American clothes? Bear in mind a Latvian invented jeans.

Americans have a stereotype of dressing like shit here. Nobody wears your clothes or copies your music and only plebs watch American films

British music is far better than ours and I'm American

Nobody in the UK wears Nike?

Which was heavily influenced by American blues.

You do realise that British actors, directors, cameraman, and writers literally make every show and film these days? Americans just pay for that.

Even I, a proud American, can admit Britain dominates film and TV
>>
>>67317109
Even if you have that opinion, rock and rap were invented in the US, so most British music is based on ours. I heard that dubstep was invented in England though, so I guess they'll always have that.

You fellow Americans should be more like me. I might love my country but even I can admit Britain is superior
>>
>>67317109
>>67317126
>and I'm American
>even I, a proud American

Suuuuure. And there are a lot of Brits in American movies/tv shows, but the majority of the directors, actors, and writers out there are American. I don't know about cameramen though, mainly because I've never heard of a famous cameraman.

What kind of argument is that? They were made in a sweatshop in Bangladesh.

It's like me claiming people wear English clothes when they wear a suit because the suit was invented in England
>>
>>67317163
>>somehow this makes americans proud

Never said I was proud of it, just that it's a fact and it's kind of silly that the British decided to draw the line at "soccer", which was a word invented by Brits in the first place
>>

Hardly a bragging right though, is it?
>Britain took American music and did it better than them
>>
>>67317211
>They were made in a sweatshop in Bangladesh.

But they were designed by Americans and the company is American.

>It's like me claiming people wear English clothes when they wear a suit because the suit was invented in England

No, it's like a Japanese person claiming that an American who owns a Toyota drives a Japanese car, despite the fact that the car was actually built in a factory in Alabama.
>>
>>67317201
>Kek no. Without ours you wouldn't have yours. That's a fact.
That doesn't change that the British generally make better music.

Of course it's not a bragging right. Why are people assuming that this is some /int/ dick-measuring contest? It's like I said to the other guy: >>67317212

Soccer: invented 90% of the things in the modern world, medicine, technology, infrastructure, god tier economics, nature, multiple sports

Football: poorfags, socialist tax slaves

If you're going to deny black influence on music, stop listening to music with a drum beat.

Yes they invented dubstep (fucking post jungle/industrial shit), which they then improved greatly (Skream, Benga, Caspa, Rusko, et al.), followed by more improvement (flux pavilion, dr p) only to have the Canadians (excision datsik) take it over and turn it into the modern robot sex we have all come to know and love today.

Technically, the internet was invented by an English guy, the US military just happened to be working on DARPAnet at the same time.

>>67317526
American scientists invented the transistor and the microchip, arguably just as important imo since they're what practically every electronic device of the last 50 years has been based on. But whatever, this isn't an /int/ pissing contest. The USA, Britain, and Germany are all wonderful for inventing so much of today's technology, let's all give each other a big round of applause and laugh at the inferiors.

England honestly makes better music and has a better underground scene for music then the US, and a big reason on that is the less pressure from bigname hollywood record labels in England then the US, and a good amount of bands in England can find moderate popularity, enough to live and make music their life while not being owned by any kind of label telling them what kind of music and shitty sound to shit out in an album that sounds the same.

Soccer was more the straw that broke the camel's back.
English has perfectly good words for things but Americans rename them for some reason.

Pants/Trousers, Elevators/Lift, Hood/Bonnet, Yard/Garden, Trunk/Boot, Fall/Autumn, Goaltender/Goalkeeper, Defence-man/Defender, Average/Morbidly obese.
Most of these we don't care about but Football is the national past time and was a step too far.
