Its just some people think that calling a sport a different name is the saving grace
Yes they are both conservative...especially the mob on this side of the country...but using historical links were not all a conservative bunch
Its not ignorance its just keeping sport the way it was...when Soccer australia was killing the crap out of the game...were people really concerned whether it was called football and soccer...now because we have nothing to bitch about...were complaining about a name.
Mate its been known as soccer in this country for over a century...your not going to change a 100 years of history just because its the fad thing to do.
For me its rebellion, I feel annoyed that people feel that I should change the name of a sport because it makes a HUGE difference to the games prestige...it does nothing...their are bigger issues in Australian Soccer to be concerned about then changing the name.
For the life of me Im glad that, purely for confusion sakes...for the young fans growing up, that one site will not buck to the pressure with a clear majority supporting the name soccer...despite soccer fans thinking their will not be, because I don't know many who support AFL and soccer and just are plain ignorant to historically calling that sport football.
Will forever call it soccer, because in Australia we have forever callen it soccer, and its a name that Im glad is going to be kept alive, purely for future generations sake...because theirs 2 codes already using the name...3 is just going to be bordering on ridiculous.
