The question isn't who came up with the word soccer. The question is why.

The answer is American Football which Americans call Football.

The argument comes from people calling a game where players barely use their feet in conjunction with the ball, football. over a game where feet are 99% of the game

Shit you could even say an american football isnt even a ball lol
