* "Sports and pro wrestling." For legal reasons concerning its (mostly) scripted nature, pro wrestling isn't actually a sport. Also, wrestlers aren't allowed to join [[UsefulNotes/UnionsInHollywood SAG-AFTRA]][[note]]the union formed by the 2012 merger of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists[[/note]] for similar reasons[[note]]unless they act in non-wrestling productions, with the most notable examples being Wrestling/JesseVentura, Wrestling/DwayneJohnson, Wrestling/JohnCena, and [[{{Wrestling/Batista}} Dave Bautista]][[/note]], so they get this from two sides. Japanese pro wrestling famously toys with the ordeal, as while it is not widely considered a ''kakutogi'' (combat sport), most of the Japanese media that covers combat sports inevitably has pro wrestling among them and sometimes presented as the main one. And finally, Mexico prefers to consider pro wrestling [[ShapedLikeItself as pro wrestling]], separated both from sport and acting.

%% Needs more context: It's unclear how this example fits this trope about phrasing. It may well be that baseball is different from the others regarding the Olympics, but unless people say something like "all the Olympic sports, and baseball", which I don't think they do, then it's not this trope. Unless I'm just hugely missing something.

* During 2019 UsefulNotes/{{FormulaOne}} season, Romain Grosjean and George Russell had a crash at Singapore. They had an off-screen talk to end grudge. Next week, they shared the plane to Russian race, and posted the same picture on Instagram, Zoidberginq ''each other'' [[https://www.instagram.com/p/B21WZkTBfEY/?hl=fr georgerussell63 To Sochi with friends... and Romain]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/B21WH2bCQRY/?hl=fr grosjeanromain Flying to Russia with friends and Georges 😉😂 (we are good, no boxing gloves needed)]]

* Happens in UsefulNotes/IceHockey quite a bit:
** The UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague, or rather, the entire sport of ice hockey, considering it is the least popular of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_professional_sports_leagues_in_the_United_States_and_Canada "Big Four" American and Canadian Team Sports]][[note]]due to holding less appeal for those living in places where it doesn't snow[[/note]], gets this quite a bit as some detractors will even omit Hockey from its major league status. Here, the group of leagues would be referred to as "[[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball The]] [[{{UsefulNotes/Basketball}} Big]] [[{{UsefulNotes/Baseball}} Three]] Sports...and [[ButtMonkey Hockey]]."\\
\\
This happens more frequently the more south you go (in which hockey is cropped out entirely or [[LastSecondWordSwap replaced with]] UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}}). Don't say this the farther north you go through, especially in Canada.
*** In markets where hockey has a huge following (Canada, Michigan, Minnesota, New England, etc.) basketball usually fits this trope. For a while, the Minnesota Timberwolves could only be heard on a 9,100-watt station that only reached the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities. The Minnesota Wild, on the other hand, was on 50,000 watt WCCO.
*** When hockey is not getting this, it's usually [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball Canadian football]][[note]]Due to the (at least perceived) skill and popularity disparity between the Canadian and American counterparts.[[/note]] or [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball soccer]][[note]]For those familiar with the above example, this is unsurprising, although some would argue that being a "Zoidberg" is at least progress for soccer in North America, as really obscure and unpopular sports would not even be considered.[[/note]]

* The [[UsefulNotes/{{NCAA}} National Collegiate Athletic Association]] is the primary college-level in the US, comprising of nearly every major and minor college and university in the United States... and Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.[[note]]SFU had previously been the only Canadian member of the NAIA, the smaller American collegiate athletic body, and moving to the NCAA required the association to change their bylaws to allow foreign universities to join. While they waited, SFU spent 11 years competing in the Canadian equivalent to the NCAA (Canadian Interuniversity Sport, now called [=USport=]).[[/note]]

** Played straight in [[http://bible.cc/luke/7-29.htm Luke 7:29]]: "When all the people [[IntimidatingRevenueService and the tax collectors]] heard this..."
** Another straight example in Exodus 14-7, where Pharaoh sends the 600 best chariots Egypt has after Moses, and all the other chariots Egypt has too.

* ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': In 1973, Hank [=McCoy=] has jerry-rigged a device that can record shows on [[{{Creator/NBC}} all]] [[{{Creator/ABC}} three]] [[{{Creator/CBS}} networks]] and {{Creator/PBS}}. This matches the common parlance and was probably not intended to be a slight, as PBS does work a bit differently from the three commercial broadcast networks.
