“No sport is less organized than Calvinball.”
Calvinball was an invention of comic strip showrunner Bill Watterson who said, “People have asked how to play Calvinball. It’s pretty simple: you make up the rules as you go.”

Colin McEnroe, at Stamford Advocate, explains Trump 2.0.
… By the end of the day, a federal judge had stopped the Trump stoppage. The next day, the White House seemed to say it was rescinding the freeze plan, although Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt made it more confusing when, a little later, she said only the memo about freezing funds was rescinded but not the order in the memo. (You can do this in Calvinball.)
