Then in the interests of cultural awareness, most Brits should probably stop acting like the term is something that Americans randomly came up with just to troll them.

Maybe a few younger, louder, dumber, more insular Brits might. "Most" Brits don't. I've never met anyone who believed the word "soccer" was actually coined by Americans. (Maybe I just don't move in the wrong circles.) That kind of ignorance must be a generational thing; it's got to be, as you say, a pretty recent phenomenon.
