American football or “soccer” football?
*******************************************
As a US AMERICAN, posting on a US-based website, I made reference to US football. If I were conversing with a Spanish-speaking person I would have referred to it as fútbol americano.
As a US AMERICAN, if I were referncing “soccer football,” I would have written soccer or fútbol.
My goodness gracious.

Obviously I need to get out more. Heh. :-)
