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....
Government Purchase of Surplus Inventory Without Price Constraints: The San Diego Chargers Ticket Guarantee

Dismal ticket sales, grumblings from fans and clubs – is FIFA’s latest attempt to establish a global club game doomed before it starts?

Under FIFA's new transfer rules, players have more latitude in claiming "just cause" if they want to move, clubs can avoid paying transfer fees if a player signals he wants to leave, and the compensation that clubs can claim should be modest. This is big. digitalhub.fifa.com/m/74181ed7a6...
