If you say "football" in en-GB then you mean the game run by the
Football Association in England, and by FIFA internationally. If you
say "Rugby", you mean whichever of the two codes is dominant in your
part of the country / social circle (and probably Rugby Union by
default). At least the ball's t
In my opinion, football being multi-interpretable, the name should not
be used for either. sport=soccer is 100% clear,
sport=american_football also is. sport=football can be different

Yes, the wiki needs to be changed to tell people not to use the insulting
word 'soccer', especially as we try to use British English to stop tags
getting confusing.
Just using sport=football would be confusing, so I prefer
sport=association_football
I would also guess that using the insulting term
Why would the term "soccer" be considered an insult? According to the
Wikipedia article referenced earlier in the thread, the British were the ones
who coined the term "soccer", as a contraction of "association football", the
original name of the sport. The name "football" was already in use a
