You: Huh?

1. This is a fun, lighthearted story, so don't take the logic too seriously. If anything doesn't make sense, I'll get down on my knees and apologize.

2. “You” has no legally defined gender. Choose whatever you like. You can even say you're an alien.

3. The simulated characters include both men and women. Since the story features male football, most of the players are men, but the other non-player characters can be of any gender. Read with care if this might bother you.

4. No couples, no romance. If a forum-style section includes people shipping characters, that doesn't mean the story supports that pairing.

Premise: Ambitious people can change the world of football
