Why couldn't they do the same thing in the MLS? What's with the cultural appropriation?

Agreed. Even if I don't like the ripping off European team names thing, that one would have at least had a connection that worked on multiple levels (Houston's founding and Texan independence were both in 1836) instead of being fake tryhard bullshit like Real Salt Lake or Sporting Kansas City.

Why don't the existing US clubs just get soccer divisions?

Some of the oldest teams in MLS(LA Galaxy, Columbus Crew) actually didn't do that. It's a relatively new phenomenon which probably to caters to the trend-following zoomer hipsters desu

What teams do this besides RSL? The rest are just FCs/SCs and standard anglo names. You're ODing on memes.

Because they're not appropriate for soccer and would be embarassing in international play.

I have put C as club, if they actually were clubs and not franchises

And they are indeed one of the few with a good tradition. Actual original american teams.

>Sporting Kansas
>Orlando City
>Atlanta United
>Minnesota United
>Houston Dynamo

Those names and terminations are not mere names, they originated from how the team was constituted. A sport club, a union of people, a city representative team, they aren't just mere slogans.

Patriots-->Revolution and Falcons-->United are pretty close, they're owned by the same people, play in the same building, use the same color scheme.

I think actually calling yourself New England Patriots SC would be pretty cringe to American ears, kind of in a Real Salt Lake way. But if an owner had the idea early on in MLS's lifespan it would be accepted, and someone would have probably copied it

Because Yurocucks totally don't give us shit for having American naming customs. See . Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Just go ahead and say you don't like Americans instead of trying to play it both ways. It's OK.

you realize it's 2 different groups of people saying those things?

This. Literally kills me inside to think about how the "loony liberal" part of the country is the one with arguably the least soi names.

It's not "banter". It's a dishonest conversation with ulterior motives.

>we're the bad guys for defending ourselves

Yeah go move to Yuropoorland if you somehow think it's our fault.

you should be naming it for what they stand for. For example in my city there is club called HNK Hajduk Split, HNK stands for croatian football club as in contrast to other club from city which was italian AC Spalato back in 1911, Hajduk is some bandit from this region that fought for "freedom" and Split is city name. There is also RNK Split which means Worker's Football Club Split and was founded by anarchists. Names need to mean something more, to show for what the club stands etc

>defending ourselves

You are a fucking idiot if you don't think that MLS is pandering to Gen X and Millennial "cosmopolitan" sensibilities with these """club""" names. I am a 30 year old Atl Utd fan, and I have actually liked soccer for most of my life. I have followed ACTUAL clubs like Bayern and Dortmund for years, and it pains me to see an American sports league basically say "fuck it, lets just copy them!" instead of embracing an actual American tradition.

Because of pandering. What makes me laugh/cringe the most is the liberal use of "SC" or, more stupidly, "FC". Calling any MLS team a "club" really is a mark of the delusion of the more outspoken "supporters" of this naming system. They could not be fucking further from the truth.

Let me break down my post for you, my ESL visitor: I established that I am part of the demographic which I hate (millenial MLS fan), I established that I have a long-standing interest in the sport (and not a yuro-inspired fad), and I established that I like actual soccer clubs, and understand what a club is.
Let me know if I need to expound on any of those points.

I would have given both my nuts if Atlanta United FC was something like Terminus Atlanta or something else historical. Shit, I would have even been fine with another bird or animal. But nope. Lets just pretend we're yurop again.

SC is trash (American sports teams are not clubs in any way shape or form), and Rebels, while cool, would never fly (too much liberal butthurt). I like the direction, though.

This would be good, unfortunately MLS and its fans are way too middle class to do anything with even the slightest hint of political incorrectness.

This is another problem with the MLS, the sterile, unpoliticised nature of the teams. I want to see the right wing Trump supporting fans of SC Atlanta Rebels street fighting with the left wing BLM supporting fans of Chicago Black Panthers SC

>American sports teams are not clubs

Because I actually like it this way. Maybe I'm just indoctrinated, but american sports leagues are fun in that there are a lot of different pressures off the field that force management to put together good teams under some tight constraints, whether that's making trades for draft picks, working within salary cap limits, etc.
We get ripped on all the time by non-Americans, but most of us actually like the way we have our leagues set up, even if it may seem "plastic".

All we need is one good Lazio clone, and we'll be ready.

>right wing Trump supporting fans of SC Atlanta Rebels
