Not a soccer fan, so I really don't care, but I would hope he'd avoid the "United" and "FC" names. That's just weak ass poser faux-Euro bullshit.

It helps to know what it means and why it's used. It prevents weak ass poser bullshit comments.

So united means what is says....2 clubs united. Such poser

You guys who always have to qualify your comments with, "I don't really like soccer, but..." crack me up. Why do you feel the need to let others know you don't like something before you comment on it? Are you worried they'll think you like soccer, like billions of other people?

Team name?

What the hell else are people in Utah, New Mexico, and Wyoming supposed to cheer for? The Broncos are a well established team that have been around for a long time. Meanwhile we in the Carolinas have the Falcons, Titans, and Redskins close to home and that's why we go with Carolina instead of Charlotte. I mean I couldn't care less but you go with Charlotte and you have a smaller fan base. Period

You haven't spent much if any time out west have you? There's nearly as many people in NC as there are in all of CO, UT, WY, and NM combined. That's without including any of SC.

Borussia Athletico Charlotte United F.C.

Please make it Real Fort Mill

I would call them the Charlotte Chagrin. We need a team that finally represents what Charlotte sports is really about.

Tepper seems to be serious about making the Charlotte area a place people want to see. The difference between JR and Tep is like night and day.. including the net worth.

 

Call em the Charlotte wanna be ballers

Which has nothing to do with MLS. Which two clubs came together to create Atlanta United? Or Minnesota United?

And don't get me started on Real Salt Lake.

This isn't a discussion about Euro teams. It's a discussion ablut MLS teams. Which teams "united" to form MLS teams?

The "united" and "FC" names were chosen because they mirrored Euro soccer team names. It's really that simple. Hence, poser bullshit.

You guys need to start paying attention to stuff outside Charlotte:

https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/wake-county-news/details-revealed-of-planned-raleigh-pro-soccer-stadium-and-downtown-south-development/

Downtown Raleigh could soon get a major overhaul.

The project, announced to a group of city and county leaders on Monday night, is called Downtown South, and would be anchored by a 20,000-seat open-air soccer stadium.

Details of what is expected in a news conference at 10 a.m. Tuesday were available on a website Monday night.

Office space, retail, and housing are all part of the proposal to develop 55 acres near the intersection of South Saunders Street and Interstate 40.

Wake County Commissioner Sig Hutchinson tells CBS 17 the project would bring nearly 6,000 jobs to Wake County.

In a tweet Monday night, candidate for mayor and former Raleigh councilwoman called the project a “game changer for Raleigh and the Southern Gateway … and a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Officials are expected to announce Tuesday morning details of the soccer stadium that they say would “enhance the profile and future” of the downtown area.

Last week, CBS 17 reported about a $1.9 billion private investment could bring soccer to downtown Raleigh.

CBS 17 has confirmed that North Carolina FC ownership and real estate developer John Kane are moving forward.
