In America, it's soccer. Good for Columbus and Chicago for properly naming themselves a "soccer club". The rest are lame and contrived, ignorantly attempting to poach of off others' tradition without respect for how the names came to be. Real Madrid and Real Sociedad were both sponsored by Spanish royalty - hence "Real". Real Salt Lake? Pathetic. I'm sure MLS team names - the inconsistent smattering of FC, Sporting, Real, etc - is an international joke. I couldn't care less if they have mascots or not, but create your own damn traditions instead of co-opting those of more successful leagues and clubs.
