I’d wager the majority of both the readers and commenters on this site are American legal residents so using “soccer” would be the democratic choice.

- ly 7y agoYour comment got me curious about this. The closest thing I could find is an old HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3298905 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3298905 According to that one ~2/3 of HN visitors are not from the US. It’s old though, and now I’m wondering what the current statistics would look like.
- JamesBarney 7y agoBased on that post more than 50% would use the term soccer.
- koolba 7y agoOpt-in polling is notoriously unreliable but even that poll backs up my claim. You need to add the multiple parts that use “soccer” (which includes Canada) that combined total to about 54%.
