What the hell is the EBBA, anyway?

I'm curious now too. I guess it's a name?

Wikipedia:

Ebba is a feminine given name, the feminine version of Ebbe, which is a diminutive form of the Germanic name Eberhard or Everhard, meaning "wild boar." Alternately, it may be a form of an Old English name Æbbe, of unknown derivation, which was the name of several early saints.[1] The name was the 10th most popular name given to girls born in Sweden in 2009.

Urban Dictionary

Ebba

A Swedish girl, usually has blonde beautiful hair and blue eyes.
Guys find it hard to resist an Ebba.
Everybody likes Ebba's because they are funny and sweet, they also have great personalities and are extremely beautiful.
Yo have you seen that girl Ebba? yeah man shes sexy.

I thought I remembered you having good results. That''s why last season surprised me so much.
I even had the lowest level PR guy. And they had just about everything you could want: stacked all-american roster, a self drafted NT player, players in the league leaders, deep cup run, & were coming off a finals appearance...

The only major differences were: my demotion penalty & my lack of Americans.

That is bizarre.

And I've never resisted and Ebba.

i don't know about my fans, but i would sure like a team of Ebba.

Merchandise -- like posters of my Ebbas in tight shirts -- would really sell.

I could see a chain of bars -- "Ebba's" -- with more of those tight shirts.

I would rename my home court "Ebba's Field" and relocate to Brooklyn, which from what i can tell, has no Ebba's anywhere.

Ebba -- say it softly, and it's like a finger roll.

Ebba -- say it loudly, and it like a three point shot.

The last 3 are pretty good.

I haven't really looked into doing an All-American team, but am curious now. Is there a major bonus for being 100% American rather than Mostly-American, or is the bonus somewhat proportionate to the percentage of Americans on the team? Also, I assume the bonus would be based more on minutes/salary rather than actual roster spots, so would scrub/fill-in players have any noticeable effect in this equation?

For example, if I have an 8 man rotation, and 6 are American and 2 are foreign, will the expected bonus (all else equal) be 75% of an All-American team or would it be much less than that?

Edit: I'm going to re-post this on the help forum.

I am 100% american... when I was 100% homegrown, my salary was 100K lower than now, and my merchandise was 30-33K.

I recommend it, but it's hard/expensive to buy only your nationality players.
