if it’s called football, then why did YOU name it soccer? seems kind of silly to blame other people for using the name you insisted everyone use.
but that’s like imperial measurements, you insisted everyone use them and then changed your mind down the line and now make fun of us for using the Imperial system that Imperial Britian came up with. you have a nasty habit of blaming everyone else for the problems you create.
British imperial units and US customary units were actually both codified after American independence! Both British imperial and US customary units are derived from earlier English customary units. We made some agreements to harmonise our two systems over time so that we were at least using the same pound and yard, because we weren’t before, but somehow volume units escaped this
Ironically we did sort of hamper your early efforts at metrication completely unintentionally; British pirates (privateers, more accurately) captured the French ship that happened to be carrying standards for the metric system across the Atlantic to you
Either way, Brits definitely shouldn’t make fun of anyone for their system of measurement, because the only thing worse than a non-metric system is using some cursed half-and-half Frankenstein mashup of both metric and non-metric

I’m relatively confident that Lady Butterfly was not involved in either of these things you’re accusing her of.
The freaking English named it soccer to distinguish from rugby football and brought that name here!
And you haven’t evolved since then?
Soccer aka association football is just one out of many rulesets for football
