OK, I'm just pointing leagues around the world do this

First, there are lots of 'sportings' in England so it's not loaned to Portuguese and then loaned back to English.

Australia has a few FCs even though Football there means something totally different from soccer.

I think you just really don't like this and that's fine, but I'm only pointing out this isn't a MLS-only gimmick. Although the gimmick of a 'United' team really should be from a merger of two teams.

And Honduras has a King appointed Real team, so yes King Felipe could appoint (or anoint) Real SL a true Real team if he so desired.
