The word "gridiron" alone may refer either to the field or to the sport; however, in North America it is mostly used in reference to the field, usually in a somewhat Poetic sense. In some other English-speaking countries—particularly Australia and New Zealand —it is the primary term used to refer to the sport, differentiating it from other forms of Football such as Australian Rules Football , Association Football (soccer), or Rugby Football . In recent years the term has come to be used much more liberally in American football. John Madden for example uses it to refer to the game itself. "Lets get back to the gridiron" is a type of phrase he and other announcers use when play resumes after a timeout or commercial break. In the Film and TV industries a gridiron is a grid made of steel and/or iron pipes. |
