People more likely to refer to rugby as football than football as soccer.

Languages evolve... but really, you expect them to evolve that fast? It's a 200 year old word. I don't think 2 years makes that much of a difference.

Yes, specifically the UK, and they make it a point to call it football now and regret ever having called it soccer in the first place. Unfortunately, the monicker has stuck, and as they spread their influence around the world, so did the word soccer. It's a recent thing that they started pushing the word football *in the UK* but nobody else really cares as much. Former British territories in Ireland, US, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and even parts of the Philippines and Japan *still* call it soccer because *so* many other sports were derived from the umbrella and football is such a generic and unspecific term in those regions. American football, Gaelic football, Australian rules football, and rugby are all British sports derivatives that can also be referred to as "football."

Thus soccer is still a word.

Insisting to call it football is just being PC and trying to appease to the rest of the world. I guess people in the UK got tired of being made fun of for calling it soccer by people who didn't speak English, but honestly the rest of us don't give a fuck.
