    I am a 78 year old American. I have never heard of American Football being called “Gridiron.” The football playing field is the gridiron.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but football was invented in Canada. https://www.rcinet.ca/en/2015/05/14/history-may-14-1874-how-canada-created-american-football/. American football likely devolved into the game it is now there. The players were probably getting too tired, so they were given a smaller field to play on, an extra down to get ten yards, no ability to run back wide field goals, the “fair catch” rule, and ending play before the clock runs out. After having their best years in Canada, players and coaches such as Joe Theismann, Warren Moon, and Don Levy go down south to rest.

    I’ve seen Ginger and his friends play plenty of cricket, but I don’t remember seeing them play footy. Is there a reason?
