American Football
美式橄欖球 is the Chinese title for “American football” (not to be confused with international football known as soccer in the USA).
If you are a player or fan of American football, this will make a great wall scroll for your home.
The first two characters mean “American style.”
The last three characters mean football or rugby (a game involving an oblong or ovoid ball).
The “American” adjective is needed in this title to differentiate between Canadian football, Australian rules football, and rugby.

American Football
アメリカンフットボール is the full/long title for “American football” in Japanese Katakana.
It is “Amerikan Futtoboru” which is supposed to sound like “American Football.”
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.

American Football
アメフト is a short word that means “American football” in Japanese.
It is supposed to sound like an abbreviated version, “ame futo” which sounds like “ah-may foot-oh” (American Football).
There's not a great standard way to say “football” in Japanese, as the sport is not popular in Japan. Other Japanese terms for football can be confused with soccer or rugby.
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
