I felt it important to 'search' for all the American sports-leagues and list them for you here.

The first listing Bing sent me-to is linked through 'the main word' below. Here, I list a few 'root-words' that tie that word into our lexicon....
The word “League” (originally referring to allied nations, then extending to political associations and then to sports associations) is built on ancient words that mean "to Bind" ( |Tie ... if not referring to the Medieval English Distance of about Three Statute-Miles (or about an Hour's Hike)). #Leagued #Leaguing #LeagueOfNations #Interleague #BigLeague

I suppose that its use to describe 'levels of professional sports' ( #MajorLeague or 'Big League,' above #MinorLeague or #LittleLeague) led to people referring to the 'Quality' ( |Morality, |Glamour) of Some Individuals as #OutOfYourLeague if you do not seem to be 'of the |Community that's |Suitable' for a relationship with them. #OutOfHisLeague #OutOfHerLeague #OutOfMyLeague
