If you called gridiron gridiron instead of football no one would have to clarify either.
There’s about 3.1 billion¹ more fans of football (or football association) than of gridiron (or gridiron football, or American football, or handegg), so it’s evident to everyone except Americans which one is the default.
(Not to mention one is an entertaining sport while the other is an ad delivery system built around watching people who’s only allowed path to education is to enslave themselves to corporations suffer permanent brain injuries).
1.— Using the American puny billion here (a thousand million) instead of the proper one (a million million) because like so many other harmful or inferior stuff you Americans have managed to force it into an international standard and would complain I was being confusing if I used the proper word.
