This is slightly mixed-up. Ain't No Rule is what Animal Athlete Loophole used to be called, while No Purple Dragons is what Loophole Abuse used to be called. Ain't No Rule now redirects to Loophole Abuse because of misuse, but the content of that page is on Animal Athlete Loophole.

Moved from Cut Tropes with a hopefully less insensitive epitaph. If not, feel free to delete it. The explanation is also an educated guess
