Mark Chapman (Canadian football) → Mark Chapman (American football) – Chapman has only played American football professionally Joeykai (talk) 22:03, 2 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

What about Mark Chapman (wide receiver)? ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 14:48, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
- @Editorofthewiki: Unnecessary extra disambiguation. There are no other football players with the Mark Chapman. Using the sport instead of his position is just fine. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 15:40, 4 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Or, typically, when someone's played both, we use "gridiron football" in the parentheses if they need disambiguating. I'd recommend changing it to "Mark Chapman (gridiron football)". Paintspot Infez (talk) 00:33, 4 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support nom Kinda funny how he didn't play for the team which drafted him 1st overall, but at the end of the day he still only played the American version and not the Canadian. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 15:40, 4 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support never played Canadian football, only American football. Eagles 24/7 (C) 13:11, 6 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
