I don't know about those things in particular, but somewhat similarly, one of the lamest things about MLS is the copycat culture. Like the singing and chanting is awesome, and that's cool to bring that over as an influence. But then you see something like "Miami United" and think its the uniting of what exactly? It's not like there are clubs coming together and you know...uniting. Its just a pure copycat and marketing.
