The global name for American football is gridiron. Gridiron is a code of rugby or handball and not football. Football is a sport where players control the ball with their feet and only football does this. Football has more participants in north America and gridiron has more spectators. Mainly because Americans prefer football but struggle with the technicalities and so they do better at gridiron which is a more basic sport.
Flag gridiron is played in some primary schools, it involves no contact. Few children play it as it is boring and involves little skill. Gridiron is mainly played by guys who failed at their first choice sport and wanted an easy way to get a scholarship.
Americans needed to distinguish it from their own gridiron football, so they used a short version of the phrase "association football".
