it could be

Australian Rules Football

but only if

you mean to put parenthesis around (Rugby League - Polo)

if so, then then using the number of players on a team gives:

Baseball = 9

Cricket = 11

Netball = 7

Basketball = 5

Rugby Union = 15

Rugby League = 13

Polo = 4

making the formula come out to be 18, the number of players on an Aussie Rules Football Team

I think this has to do with

Number of players on a team.

So: (Baseball x Cricket x Netball) - (Basketball x Rugby Union x Rugby League - Polo)

$= (9 times 11 times 7) - (5 times 15 times 13 - 4) = 693 - 971 = -278$

I think this has to do with

Number of players on a team.

So: (Baseball x Cricket x Netball) - (Basketball x Rugby Union x Rugby League - Polo)

$= (9 times 11 times 7) - (5 times 15 times 13 - 4) = 693 - 971 = -278$
