Imagine getting unironically upset about the fact that 95% of the world calls a sport something different than you, in a subreddit poking fun at people who don't understand your hobby

To be fair, it sounds like he's saying that people who insist on it not being called soccer are awful. And honestly, as someone who calls it football and has grown up in a country that calls it almost exclusively football, I agree that those people are insufferable. It's called either depending on what you've grown up knowing it as.

handegg is known as american football, because it is not the same as rugby (UK version of handegg), calling it football when they carry the egg shaped item in their hands is insane, and via democracy the sport where you kick a ball with your foot is called football and the other one is an american thing

I think I'm just too employed to care what people call it.

Looks like a nerve was touched here.
