re: Honestly, all jokes aside. What would make MLB more marketable in the South?

Because Americans hate European pretentiousness. Especially if it's faked and forced.
We like Armani because it's Armani and authentic. We like Bayern Munich because they're fantastic and authentic. But if you name an MLS team "Bayern Minneapolis" that is inauthentic and dumb, and Americans will be able to sense that.
Just name the team "Minneapolis Abominables" and call them the "Bombers". It's cool because Minny is cold and the Abomianable Snowman is fricking cool and cold. And American. And what the frick is "Reyalll" or "Bayern" or "Sporting" or "Chevis" or "FC" anyway?

Well Bayern means Bavaria in German, so Bayern Minneapolis would be about the dumbest shite imaginable. But I agree in general with MLS trying too hard to mimic European naming customs for teams

You honestly think people factor this in when thinking about a local MLS team?

I guess you don't realize how popular MLS has become in the US. The numbers show that either people aren't "sensing" this fake European pretentiousness.

and now I don't even know why I'm trying to debate this with you
It is kind of funny you mention the team name Bombers, back in the day they couldn't give away enough tickets to draw interest

You realize there are other Bayerns, right? It just means Bavarian. So yea, it would be really dumb to have a Bayern Minneapolis and it wouldn't make any sense since MN isn't in Bavaria.
