I'm not sure if there are any lakes in the LA surrounding area. Or if the Mormons know what jazz is.
Elijah Walker
Mormons hate Jazz.

>There were more than a few snickers and acerbic comments a few years back when Dave Checketts’s new team in Major League Soccer was named Real Salt Lake. Huh? What?
>“In the early 1990s when I was working for N.B.A. International, my purpose was to take basketball to Europe,” Checketts, the chairman of SCP Worldwide, said last week in Manhattan. “But I found that I fell in love with soccer and with taking it to the United States. In Madrid, I was looking at an organization that was amazing. I wanted to draw on Real Madrid’s brand credibility. And we wanted a name where no one would question what sport the team is playing, and that’s what Real Salt Lake is.”

stupid. teams should all be named Soccer Club or Soccer Association of if they want to actually follow a european model. saying football in america is retarded, I'm sorry. or, alternatively, just follow how we do itin the US and give teams monikers. "Portland Timbers vs NYCFC" is fucking retarded

The public wanted to call them the Highlanders, but MLS is really just a vanity project for billionaires who vacation abroad and want to own a soccer team, so here we are.
