Ponyville's Annual Superbowl Party

Evolved from its earliest forms that dated back to the Pre-Equestrian Earth Pony clan, the sport has become more than just a bunch of muddy stallions running around in the fields.

Food from Sugarcube corner, cider from Sweet Apple Acres, friends from all over, and their conversations filled those traits. And of course, Equestria’s greatest partyer – Pinkie Pie - was the host. The party has been hosted in many locations over the years, but this year, it was taking place at the town library, and already, things were starting to take off ...

Pardon me, but wouldn't it be the EHL? The Equestrian Hoofball League? Unless I'm missing what the F stands for in which case I apologize.
