Gridiron Football
Gridiron football
is a term that refers to both
American football
and
Canadian football
. The term came about after it was observed that the field of play in each sport, because of the many lines marking it, resembles a gridiron. The word "gridiron" alone may refer either to the field or to the sport; however, in
North America
it's usually only used to refer the field. In some other English-speaking countries--particularly
Australia
and
New Zealand
--it is the primary term used to refer to the sport, differentiating it from other forms of
football
such as
Australian rules football
,
association football
(soccer), or
rugby football
.
