Something for @sszy.bsky.social, if you are still interested in the origins of "soccer" as a word!
The Oxford Review has been digitized by the BNA. It covered the last university news during term time. This is the first mention of "Soccer" on the 7 March 1888.

New working paper with @sszy.bsky.social. If you are looking for a break from Commanders shenanigans, I can offer Chargers shenanigans. In the mid 1990s, San Diego offered to buy unsold Chargers tickets with no price cap. How much do you think ticket prices increased? papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
