Montreal Impact. There's talk of changing it to Montreal FC - which might pose a problem for the language nationalists, since "FC" is English. In French it would have to be "CF".

Arsenal to change to Arsenal Nil. Wouldn't Arsen-nil be a little snappier?

I was going to mention 'Sporting Kansas City.' There's also 'Sacramento Republic.' What was it, Real Salt Lake that caused him to have a conniption fit? Maybe - it could just as easily have been the mere mention of MLS that set him off.

Lakers, Kings, Phillies, Jazz, Nationals. Nationals should’ve stuck with Expos. Lakers should’ve changed to something else entirely when they moved, same with the Jazz. Kings would work if the franchise was actually any successful. Phillies is pretty stupid. It’d be like if the Indians became the Cleveland Cleves.
Also soccer clubs that go with Real, SC, or FC... in the MLS, at least. And the Red Bulls. Can’t believe there’s a soccer team named after an energy drink. MLS honestly has a lot of dumb names. Only the Galaxy, Crew, Sounders, Timbers, and Fire have good names.

Do people from Ohio say things like “Hey did you hear Megadeth will be playing in Cleve? Yeah!! “

Honestly, I think all MLS teams should be named after Pokémon. But those names a good names. Some of them even fit for their regions. Crew’s not a great team nickname, but it’s not some lame shit like Dynamos or Impact. Maybe I’m just biased since they’re the regional team for me.

Should’ve tried to reclaim Oilers or gone with something to do with NASA. Could’ve been the Houston Apollos or something like that.

In the NBA, New Orleans should get the Jazz name back and Utah should choose a different name. Seriously, the Pelicans is an embarrassing name.

Maybe I’m just biased since they’re the regional team for me. Cleveland. They're different degrees of bad, but yeah Danyamos and Impact are pretty fucking awful, but I do have an aversion to singular word team names for some reason. I'm used to the ones that have been around for a while, but most of those sound lame to me. I'm just sort of realizing now that I haven't heard of most of the teams. Earthquakes is pretty stupid. Union and Revolution are singular/collective/non-plural that aren't so terrible.

The Montreal Expos were named after the 1967 International and Universal Exposition, held in Montreal. Washington Expos makes as much sense as the Denver Hurricanes.

Eh, Denver gets some pretty nasty hurricanes in late summer. People from Denver know what I mean... I’m hoping they do, because I sure as hell don’t.

It'd be like if the Indians became the Cleveland Clevelands. Not trying to nitpick here but Philly is like a nickname for Philadelphia. What you’re suggesting is just saying Cleveland twice. I’m not saying that “Phillies” is as great a name as, say, the Tigers or Pirates, but it’s better than Texans and Packers and Browns.
