1) The National Football Leauge (where "sweaty overpaid millionares" engage in highly athletic activity, yell at each other, then go party after the game and get arrested).
If you want to see REAL football played, complete with rivalries, enthusiastic student fans, and marching bands that kick a$$, watch it at the college level instead.
2)The National Forensic Leauge, which holds organized high school debates. They are, as stated in other entries, primarilly held on Saturdays at a host school and less, and there usually is some overpriced food being sold there. The events often run late and it can take forever to find out who won what. In addition, you tend to be required to dress "nicely" (the definition of this word itself is up for debate).
That said, there are tons of events and really something for anyone interested in speech and debate. Events typically include Policy (both 4 and 2-person), Lincoln-Douglass, Public Forum, Controversial Issue, and myriad Individual Events such as Original Oratory. If you're a drama kid, love to argue, or love the nuances of politics, there's bound to be an event you'll excell in.
Many high school kids are highly dedicated to the oft-overlooked art that is debate. They are willing to put up with sometimes badly organized events, possibly unfair or biased judges, and teams who engage in ridiculous behavior just for the joy that comes from knowing you've owned the other team, coupled with the joy that it will look good on your college applications.
Besides, can the football team use words like "inherency", "solvency", "kritik", "DA", and "counterplan" in normal conversation? Yeah, I didn't think so.

National Forensic League. An excuse to socialize all day and get naked with various other people on a bus. Probably the most fun you'll have in your life if your not an unsocial loser. A place to make great friends and do a variety of otherwise inappropriate things.
speecher: "I'm now officially part of the NFL!"
non-speecher: "National Football League?"
speecher: "No. The one with intelligent people..."

Nanjing Foreign Language School, (NFLS ,Simplified Chinese: ÄϾ©Íâ¹úÓïѧУ, nickname Nan-Wai ÄÏÍâ) is a high school located in Nanjing, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China. Founded by PRC's first premier (prime minister) Mr. Zhou Enlai in 1963. It is claimed as one of the most prestigious and competitive high schools in China.
Nanjing Foreign Language School consists of a three-year senior high school and a three-year junior middle school. Elementary graduates from Nanjing usually apply to its junior middle school by taking a series of examinations. The form of the examinations is usually in a flux due to different government policies varying from year to year. The focus of the examinations, however, is always students' academic skills on Chinese, English, and Mathematics.
After three years of study in the middle school, students usually take part in the standardized high schools entrance tests in Nanjing and a special school held qualification test. Qualified middle school graduates will continue their high school studies in the high school.
Nanjing Foreign Language School employs the standard education system of Jiangsu Province in disciplines other than foreign languages. Its uniqueness centers at its foreign language education, in which students may elect one from English, German, French, or Japanese as their major language of concentration. The latter three languages are usually not offered in average Chinese junior high schools or high schools. In addition, the English education is more intensive, and takes twice the time as an average school spends. The classes are conducted by local and foreign teachers with overseas lanuguage textbooks. Students at NFLS therefore attain a higher level of foreign language skills upon graduation.
The current principal of the school (2006) is Mr. Dong Zhengjing.
