Ross

I believe the answer is:

league

(Other definitions for league that I've seen before include "Group of teams competing over a period" , "Old distance measure of about three miles" , "Association of states or sports teams" , "Group of countries in mutual cooperation" , "... and three sea miles" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
