mountain lions aren't actually lions, I'm hoping the locals' knowledge of these beautiful animals will prevent any confusion. otherwise we can go with catamounts or pumas or something.

i used to like the idea of generic names because it gave the fans the opportunity to organically choose their own nickname, but so far that's led to really great things like "TFC" and "shirt color" and "NYCFC" so gently caress it, i hope they pick an animal with claws. detroit mountain lions.

Red Wings and Pistons are good names. I have faith Detroit could come up with something decent...

it's pretty danged impressive for detroit city fc to get the entirety of the city to attend their home games. i presume their promotions of free real estate in areas with working city services is really getting those people through the turnstiles.

The Pistons name comes from Fort Wayne, Indiana, though. In fact, most of the sports team still in FW have great names: Mad Ants, Tincaps, and Mastodons.

Put an MLS team in Fort Wayne. Have Jamar Beasley come back home to manage it.

well lets get one thing straight: the latter two are just regular bad and boring and low effort. on the other hand, real salt lake's continued existence undermines the entire the league. real salt lake is a name you give to an under-12 rec team.

Allow me to add my voice to the chorus of mysticism at the Rapids start.

Also they just sent me an invite to a season ticket pregame event, which may include free tickets to this weekends match against the Evil Monarchists for myself and a guest. I really can't afford season tickets but this offer is tempting just for the free match.

EDIT: Oh wait that's Derby Day, gently caress that noise.

you're only allowed x number of chartered flights a year because it's an unfair advantage to the poorer teams

I think teams are only allowed so many chartered flights in a season.

I also hope you took the opportunity to curse out Wondo over the Belgium game.

We really need a center back and he's decent for the level of the league. Smart move imo, the defense is in shambles right now because of all the injuries. Once Klose comes in (rumours have started up again) we're shooting back up the table.

I feel bad for all of the Orlando City fans who bought shirts with Collin's name on the back. I mean, spending money on something with his name on it was bad enough. So far this season he wasn't even starting. Now it looks like he won't even be on the team.
