Soccer Slash

Observation:

Media franchises attract fandoms, and many get their fair share of character ‘shipping (especially of the attractive characters).

Soccer also attracts huge fandoms… but I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard of “soccer slash” (even of the attractive players).

Four-cell table showing the intersections of Fandoms and Slash with Media and Soccer, respectively. Media + Fandoms is a photo from Comic-Con; Media + Slash is a comic art picture of Captain Kirk and Spock kissing; Soccer + Fandom is a full World Cup stadium; Soccer + Slash just shows a question mark.
