List of people from Montana (gridiron football)

 * Nominator(s): Pumpkin Sky   talk  02:40, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

A group of us are working on the main list to this, List of people from Montana. This gridiron football section was the first one to be big enough and ready for becoming a sub list and to be listed here. All images are free. Hopefully it will become the first of a group of FLs on people from Montana. If successful, would these be the first "list of people from (a US state)" to be FLs?

 * The title should be American football rather than gridiron football. More accurate and far better. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 02:57, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Even though "gridiron fooball" is less common, is it the umbrella term for American football (and its variations:Six-man, Eight-man, Nine-man, Flag, Sprint, Touch), Canadian football, and Indoor football (most notably:arena). NThomas (talk) 22:51, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
 * KV5 suggested gridiron football. I have to agree with KV5 here as several of these people have connections to the Canadian Football League, which is similar but still different to US football. See the article on gridiron football and American football. Pumpkin Sky   talk  03:00, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Meh, it's a bit annoying though since it's a US article and few use gridiron to refer to it. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 03:13, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I totally understand your view but it's also inaccurate to say those in the CFL are playing American football, and the field is often referred to as "the gridiron" in America. I'm not married to either term and am open to whatever a solid consensus turns out to be. Pumpkin Sky  talk  10:46, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It's fairly short as it stands. Why not throw in those people that are notable for other codes of football (soccer, rugby, gaelic) and drop the Gridiron from the name? Courcelles 02:35, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Because I haven't found any from those fields notable who are from Montana. And if it says just "football" many people would think FIFA Football (socccer). Pumpkin Sky   talk  02:46, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
