Which is why so many newcomer know-nothings root for LAFC! Kidding aside, I think this is the first time I've ever (mostly) agreed with an LAFC fan. AEG choosing to further entrench the Galaxy in Carson will look terrible in 20 years when the Galaxy are the '80s Rams to LAFC's '80s Raiders, with LAFC being the trendy team that plays in an accessible location while the Galaxy are the uncool others who might as well be Long Beach or Orange County's team.
I understand that the Sports Arena site LAFC managed to snag wasn't available to AEG when it was looking for places to build the Galaxy a soccer-specific stadium in the early '00s, and that downtown arenas weren't yet all the rage in MLS back then, but it's a different era now. On the other hand, AEG likes having its teams in AEG-owned locations and the taxpayers of LA will (correctly) never pay for a new stadium again, so the Galaxy are probably stuck in the South Bay. Even if AEG tried to annex the Farmers Field site into L.A. Live by moving the Galaxy there, I could see the city council saying "Sorry, but we already have a new soccer stadium near downtown. Why don't you guys move in with LAFC instead?" (I'm being told that wouldn't be ironic because LAFC and Chivas USA are completely different things?)
Aha! You're an LAFC fan but you just admitted that Carson is in LA! I have you now!
You snobs already took FC so we'd only be able to be LA United anyways . To your point about the name, my head canon has always been that Nike named LA's team the Galaxy because the league wanted to have a premier, star-studded team in a city that made so many contributions to the aerospace industry. I know Nike just wanted to emphasize how there's a "galaxy" of celebrities in LA, but I'd much rather see the stars play soccer (the sport Los Angeles Football Club plays) for the Galaxy with the branding reflecting a space theme. Emphasize the unique shape of the quasar! Sneak five stars into an updated crest by making them space stars instead of championship stars! The potential bandaid solutions are endless!
