Regardless, the parent comment was useful to me and I assume others. Perhaps I should have assumed association football was meant, since Magnus is European, but for whatever reason I didn't.
Fantasy American football is extremely popular in the US, so I think a lot of people would automatically assume that's what was meant.
And yes, we're aware that people in different countries use different words for things.
(And no, actually, it's not called "football" everywhere outside North America. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_for_association_football https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_for_association_football)
- hhmc 7y agoFantastic, if you're aware that people in different countries use different words for things, then you can also recognize that GP condescendingly correcting to "fantasy soccer" is unnecessary.
- umanwizard 7y agoIt didn't read to me like a correction; rather, pointing out what the article was about to people who might not have immediately realized. I have absolutely no problem with people calling it football, soccer, calcio, or anything else.
