I don't think "defer" is an option in the NFL.

Many of the changes in USAn football were also adopted in full by Canadian football, but later. A relatively tiny handful of significant rule differences were original to Canadian football. Robert |

I once heard that the US uses a 100 yard field because at a game once at Harvard there was not enough real estate for the larger field, and this new format stuck.

Football Canada does have optional metre rules, but the CFL doesn't. Some CIAU and other amateur games were played under such rules in the 1970s, but they didn't catch on. Around that time Rugby Union switched to "metric", and later Rugby League. I don't see the point. It's got to have an effect on play when you need 10 m to get a first down, your kickoff has to go forward 10 m, etc.; it's about an extra yard. It's not as if there needs to be conformity between a game field and the outside world; heck, they can use furlongs etc. And if they wanted to express things in meters, why didn't they make it 9 m, which is much closer to 10 yds.?
