Some of the IRC discussion I had said that its 'ambiguous' though I
don't agree to the ambiguous property because even americans play for
FIFA where the F means Football
Spurious argument: the A also stands for 'Association'. In other words, the
sport is described in FIFA's name as 'football association', i.e. (in
English) 'association football'.
For myself, as a Brit, I have no objection to 'soccer', which was sometimes
used for 'football' in my youth, and which now seems to be disparaged purely
because it's perceived as American usage. But I do object to the equation of
'football' with American football.
How about hierarchical tagging? E.g.:
sport=football
football=american|association|australian_rules|rugby_league|rugby_union
or even
sport=football
football=rugby
rugby=union|league
