Football
Hello, please be aware that while we can put references to both soccer and football on the pages you are creating for English teams, that we still have to be careful of how we categorize. UK soccer is the preferred method. There is a link to football sports from there. Learn together 18:01, 31 July 2007 (EDT)
Oh sure, that's not a problem. But a suggestion - I wonder if "UK Football" might not only be less divisive, but also more accurate? NotForgotten 18:54, 31 July 2007 (EDT)
- The difficulty is that Conservapedia is geared to the U.S. audience so we have a common frame of reference. We have to be careful about anything that could be confusing based upon that understanding. The meaning of UK football could easily be misunderstood. Realistically it has to show up under soccer in some form so as not to cause confusion. I've mapped soccer and rugby under "football sports" to help it be followed by our European users.

- Although my heart inclines to "Remembered" view we have to be pragmatic here and recognize (US spelling) that CP is not a world-view Wikipedia and therfore I agree with LTG. I know that many people like to promote the meaning of football as a game played with the feet but the term soccer is British slang for the game in the first place.
