the League of Nations
And let there be / 'Twixt us and them no league, nor amity.1668, John Denham, The Passion of Dido for Aeneas:
He loved watching cricket leagues all around the world.
My favorite sports organizations are the National Football League and the American League in baseball.
Are you going to watch the league tonight?
Forget about dating him; he's out of your league.
We're not even in the same league.
