Not strictly true - soccer comes from association football , soccer is the diminutive, like rugger is for rugby football. I think it was a public school term (Eton/Winchester/Harrow, not Sudbury Comprehensive)
The history of the game of football has many offshoots, and while being a Brit and seeing football in the US for a type of Rugby/concussion by consent is weird its not strictly wrong.
Actually part of the story that isn't mentioned here is that the dog(s?) are also looking for contraband food such as bush meat so false positives on sausages is going to happen.
To be honest, I would find it annoying if I went specifically to Amazon to buy a "magic TLA superwatch" or whatever and they didn't say we don't have it, but here's the "super FLA megawatch". Don't know where that stands in trademark issues because I don't care - if I'm searching for a specific thing , not being told they don't have it is not what I want.
Then again I generally search for what I want and select from the links that search brings up.

Reported cases are on the up - Over here in the UK we're going through a whole epoch of childhood heroes being taken to court for sexual abuses done to children and adults.
All that says is that is it easier to report these things now and will be taken more seriously than before.
More reports to the police NOW does not mean that there were any less ACTS happening in the past.
I do wonder about the gambling thing in the states though . Why ?
I've heard its a sort of state based matter on what's allowed or not , so if that is right , why is the federal govt getting involved ? or have I got it totally wrong ?
Don't understand what the problem is. Just down to not getting their share ? Or some moral thing ?
For me, I have recognisable handle I've used on t'internet for nigh on 20 years - there's someone in south Korea that uses it for Xbox gaming (and why would I care - I'm not claiming ownership over it), but that's it as far as I know. Its not guaranteed that'll it'll be me , but given my typing and grammar quirks you'd be able to spot a fake, if anyone cared .
Why would I not want to use that ?

Not so sure about this as there are various soccer analysis companies that calculate passes, distance covered, tackles made etc that managers in the leagues use. A player that may not make the headlines may be more valuable because to those hidden factors , and those headline (and expensive) players may not be all that good in the context of the team .
It's easier with individual style team sports ( baseball, cricket) as there is a direct 1-on-1 situation but its not impossible.
As for basketball - I have no idea - its a sport of which charms have passed me by .
20/20, 40 over, 50 over (1 day) , 60 over (no longer played), 2 day ,3 day , 4 day and Test.
All (except 20/20, where you get a comfort break) with meal breaks and time to do the reason why you were there : socialize .
Its the same with any sport , its boring if you don't understand it. Being a Brit baseball(rounders plus boredom) and American football (rugby league crossed with trench warfare) are totally nonsensical unless I find someone to explain it .
