So do you want the real reason Charlotte MLS ended up being Charlotte FC?

(I know, I know... bad troll!)

Same reason that, with potentially better options on the table, Seattle ended up with Kraken. Cyber squatting. People trying to guess marks and then claim rights. Intellectual property being more valuable than in the days where we didn’t care if multiple teams were named Giants, not to mention the nationalization of sports media that made distinctions important. AND...

...and I do mean this...

...we’re running out of good names.

A somewhat side point to this for certain people: I recall when it was reported that the organization was trying to steer away from “seafood names.” Because of the above reasons, when this subject comes up again for whatever sport, expect organizations to throw off the scent a bit. Deal?
