  NFL becomes NHL, so we need a new name for hockey.

    Hockey sticks moving the puck resemble brooms sweeping, so we could call it “Brooms,” which leaves us with either NBA or MLB.

      Baseball could be called stickball, taking MLS so ‘soccer’ would need a new… Hey, that actually works out.

        No, no. MLS becomes the NFL so there’s no confusion that it’s football.

    NHL will have to rename to National Blade Association (NBA), so we have to come up with something new for Basketball.

      Basketball was invented using peach baskets. So the NBA will have to become the National Fruitball League (NFL)

      Basketballs are round, so maybe just National Roundball Association, or NRA.
