South Australian National Football League

[jt90]

Why is the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) still allowed to carry the "National" in their title? The VFL or WAFL are not afforded this luxury. What does the SANFL do for the game on a national basis? Interested to hear thoughts.

I think you're placing the national in the context of the state vs the context of the code

 

[Power Raid]

alternatively it could be the South Australian, Australian Football League. but that makes less sense.

similarly not identifying what code of football it is, if in the case they were just SAFL. is it soccer? is it rugby?

 

[estibador]

The VFL or WAFL could if they wanted. No one is stopping them.

I feel for the lawyer being sent to South Australia

That is a human rights violation

Why are the winners of the NFL, NBA, MLB called world champions, even though those leagues are played exclusively in the USA and Canada ?

 

[sobrave]

Because winning the snaful grand final makes you national football league champions

WAFL used to be WANFL. AFL used to be VFL.
Name is not super important

Same reason as Packer called the cricket he started, World Series Cricket, because he can...

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

There used to be a NFL. The green and gold rulebook I remember from a long time ago.
