>Sporting KC >Real Salt Lake >Orlando City >Atlanta

What else should they call them? Follow the NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL example? Those are joke names to the rest of the world

If you want to participate in the worlds largest sport it makes sense to follow an established naming scheme

>Not naming your teams after devastating events in your cities history in which record numbers of people lost their lives

the only really horrific one is Real Salt Lake, imo
the others are kind of silly and contrived, but naming your team "royal" when you live in a republic is borderline incomprehensible

The best US soccer team name HAS to be the Tampa Bay Rowdies. They sure sound like they dont give a crud!!!

They tried to partner with Real Madrid and it fell apart or something.

I'm of the opinion that if you're going to name a U.S. based club "FC," you should at least make it "SC," like Orlando, or Columbus

I agree with this

Your team's name being so shit that the local media almost always refers to you as "The Lions".

SC isn't even respectable though. The sport is football. Not soccer.

People who watch the MLS are faggot hipsters who use European vernacular to try to be "cool". MLS is a disgrace to American sports and sports in general

Mike, please don't.

But it's perfectly okay to root for overseas teams instead?

>>74791742
Lionel, I keep seeing you everywhere

>>74791854
There's nothing wrong to root for European teams, the talent is a million times better there than here. Anyway I don't watch soccer at all, it's a shit sport that doesn't interest me.

The GOAT American naming structure is in college athletics. You've got some authentic mascots, names, and tradition there. Example:

Florida State Seminoles
Alabama Crimson Tide
Ohio State Buckeyes
North Carolina Tar Heels

Contrast this with some other generic ass team names from professional leagues:
Houston Texans
Buffalo Bills
Utah Jazz
Orlando Magic
Miami Heat

All just sad and pathetic desu.

>>74792109
this guy's going doopin' mental!

>>74792262
>Florida State Semenholes
>Alabama Crimson Menstruation Tide
>O, hi, o, I Fuckguys
>South Varogina Tar Queefs

How can one city have both the best nickname in sports and the worst nickname?
>Washington Redskins
Pride. Tradition. Respect for native peoples. The logo is a noble native warrior. Rez Indians aren't mad about it, only snowflakes looking for drama get mad.
>Washington Wizards
Fantasy magic is has no place in US tradition. In the USA our lore is of the wild west, the frontier, the War of Northern Aggression, the Puritans.
Meanwhile we bring war to a level not seen since the Romans. Change it right now to the Washington ICBMs.

Proud Atlanta United ultra here, you disrespect the sacred AU team name I'd beat your ass irl

Instead of deadbrained euro-imitatation, it wouldn't hurt to do what Orlando did and simply name your team [City/Region] S.C.

Its elegant, very sensible, and by directly embracing our word for the sport, gives your team a sense of unpretentious and humble homegrown authenticity. Its heavens better than that cringy grab at worthless foreigner approval that is using Euro-conformant naming.

Seriously MLShits, im not even a soccer fan but i feel that the majority of Americans will stop laughing at you and start respecting your league when you stop giving a shit about what outsider third worlders think and start cultivating your own proud sport culture. Euroboos in MLS are presently your biggest image cancer.

euroboos are such a small number of the fans outside of places like Seattle, in fact most of the fans are your typical americans and the young diverse crowd. People shit on MLS because the media doesn't tell them to like the league.

People shit on us for being too American AND too European, sure MLS isn't without plenty of its flaws but its sure as hell not this big joke of game day experience people who don't even go to games claim it to be, so its not worth even trying to cater to the people that don't know anything about how the league actually is

t. someone who goes to multiple games a year

>>74792849
I'll take the occasional dive over a commercial break every few minutes from an objective viewpoint desu

maybe the only thing worse than diving is the game being interrupted constantly

>>74792894
i totally agree. the constant commercials are a disgrace and almost ruin the enjoyment. there is no excuse. all criticism is valid.
if america can create its own brand of soccer with better sportsmanship and not screw it up with commercials then it could take off. it lacks respectability because of the lack of physicality.

>>74792877
>euroboos are such a small number

This is painfully false, and i go to both home and away games so i have substantial experience.

>>74791311
>Those are joke names to the rest of the world
Not really, look at Japan's and Australia's leagues for any team sport for example.

>>74791386
AFC is better.
