These are abbreviations for companies, government agencies, etc. But what do they mean?

(Parts 2 and 3 will be harder.)

Harrison:

More important? Well, I guess it depends on who you ask.

But National Football League is more well-known. I'd never even heard of the Forensics League, until now.

Also:

NIagara Falls, NY (Amtrak code).
National Fertilisers Limited (a company in India)
No Free Lunch
Northumberland Ferries Limited (Prince Edward Island )
North Florida
Not Foot Launchable (an ultralight aircraft)
Newfoundland and Labrador (Important to those who live there).
Northern Football League (soccer)--one in England, another in Australia, a 3rd in Scotland.

BTW, the National Forensiscs League is only about 5 years younger than the National Football League (1925 vs 1920), so it is no fly by night organization.

I'll bet most of these initializations and abbreviations have multiple meanings. Gee: I could make more games with the same background...if I had the time.
