    That was mostly because the US was so important to the sport. Obviously now that Germany is the centre of the basketball world that will have to change too and the US will have to loan “Korbball” from German.

        So you are saying if we define a third meaning it will have one more than “football”? Sounds like a good start to become the most popular sport.

          Additionally the third “Korbball” will be hosted in Germany only and is only accessible to german teams in the NKL, but we still call it the Weltmeisterschaft (World Championship).

            I think for this analogy to ring true you have to allow a couple of small teams from your northernmost neighbour to join you. Good news for Sonderborg in Denmark I guess.
