football vs soccer i should have directed you to wikiproject national football league sorry about that actually this might be a good time to caution you about regional varieties of english in general wikipedia accepts all english varieties but the varity should remain constant throughout individual articles therefore americans sometimes have to use british spelling and vice versa to maintain continuity anyway since your interested in american football be careful when editing pages where it might be confused with soccer for more information see wikipedia manual of style spelling wikipedia manual of style national varieties of english and american and british english differences thanks
