Comment on Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’

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

      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.

      I have unironically called basketball roundball for over 3 decades.

      Sports are practically a religion in this country and I hate religion.
