The names of Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake make them plastic franchises much the same way I find Chelsea and Man City plastic because of their spending habits. And what do we say about them? Sh*t club, with no history!

Exactly! Like I said, TFC is simple and honest. Okay, they went with FC instead of SC or whatever, in the grand scheme of things thats pretty minor.
New York Red Bulls? Its their sponsor, much like Chivas USA, although that would be better if you knew where they were from. I honestly thought they may have been a Mexican team.
