Quick commentary: The Internet (aka Twitter) didn’t like the name for the new MLS team in Atlanta — Atlanta United FC. As per usual any name suggestion would be ridiculed, whether the team goes with the European “FC” rout or the mid-90s Kansas City Wiz route. My two cents, calling a team in America that operates under a single-entity structure a “football club” is silly, but it’s just a name.
