We just call it gridiron in Australia, plain and simple. Too many other things are called football or “footy”. Soccer obviously, but both rugby league and rugby union (two different sports) as well as Australian rules football (AFL). That’s 4 different sports someone may be referencing when saying football, so American football is just gridiron. NGL indeed
Well, what they play is specifically gridiron football, so maybe the NGL?
NGL, I’m liking this idea the more I think about it.
