When writing for an international audience, I use "American football," or
sometimes "American rules football" if Australians are in the room. Or
"handegg" if I'm feeling snarky.
But the general attitude in the USA is that we are the standard and the rest of
the world is a deviation. And unlike other cultures that hold the same
attitude, we have the military industrial complex to back it up.
