The NFL has what might be called a modified round-robin I know, there's your next question tournament. Round-robin because you play without risk of elimination for the regular season. Modified because you do not face each opponent once and only once as in a true round-robin, but some twice and some not at all, and also because the system changes at a point start of the play-offs to an elimination format, modified itself to allow byes for the best four teams in the first round.
According to the reference below, the term bye started out as a cricket term in and is a variant of the preposition by. It meant what we baseball folk would call a passed ball that allows a runner to score. Seems it had the sense of getting BY the wicket keeper catcher allowing the batsman runner on third to score a run without any actual opposition.
Perhaps it had an element of the wicket keeper saying bye like good-bye when the ball passes him. I bet it was meant to denigrate the wicket keeper more than anything. It also says it was generalized to tournaments, etc. So, from what looks like an angry insult to a teammate to a common word used for unmatched competitors moving on, the word bye seems to have a use laid in for some time to come even if we start not saying good-bye when we leave people.

It's like a dog chasing a cat and it's working he is making you want him more. Generally it is not rude to say Bye in person , however as with everything, the tone with which you say it means everything. If you were to say Bye in a mean, nasty or derisive tone, then it would be considered rude.
If you were to say it in friendly tones or even with a hint of sadness, then it is not rude at all. He said his goodbyes knowing that a long time would pass before he would see his child again.
