So clearly, taggers in Australia aren't likely to use sport=football since they'll know it's ambiguous, and renderers in Australia will use a suitably ambiguous icon. This is all getting a bit out of hand. 1) JOSM should use sport=american_football, not the "do not use" sport=football 2) I'll add sport=american_football to the wiki. I don't think it needs a proposal or vote, frankly, but if anyone cares to go through that loop, feel free to revert my edit and set it up.
