	Sports league - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A sports league is an organization that exists to provide a regulated competition for a number of people to compete in a specific sport.
		Sometimes a number of leagues are tied together in a hierarchical fashion; the best teams of one league may move to a higher league and the worst teams of a higher league may move to a lower league.
		A league may be split into smaller groups, often called conferences or divisions; teams then compete to be the best in their division and/or conference while also trying to be the best in the league.

	Wikinfo \| American football (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		American football, known in the United States simply as football, is a competitive team sport that rewards players' speed, agility, skill, tactics, and brute strength as they run and throw a ball, and block, tackle, and outrun each other, trying to force the ball further into their opponent's territory and ultimately into the endzone.
		The minor Arena Football League (1987-present) plays an indoor adaptation of American football, at a faster pace, on a smaller field with no built-in sidelines -- the edges of the grid are coincident with padded walls similar to those found in a baseball outfield.
		However, rugby league does have a similar system where each side is allowed to be tackled six times while in possession before surrendering possession (see the entry for rugby league for an explanation of the play-the-ball and the limited tackles rule).

		From early June to late July, players are exposed to the brutal schedule and travel conditions they would face in the minor leagues, playing a game a day, sometimes just hours after the 360-mile bus ride between Anchorage and Fairbanks.
