The Major League Soccer (MLS) team previously known as the Montreal Impact will now be called Club de foot Montréal (CF MTL).

It was reported last month that the team would change their name to Montreal FC, a move that was criticized by some (notably the Parti Québécois) because "football club" is English. The Montreal Impact / Impact de Montréal name has been with the team since 1993.

It's Montreal FC in french. I wish they would have stolen another name while they were at it.

Montreal Football Club is fine.

Better than Impact which was their stupid A-League name.

What's "um something" about this?

The only weird thing about them being CF Montreal is most French Ligue 1 teams (from what I can see) use FC

FC seems all the rage.

Considering French teams use FC kinda weird thing to complain about when it was suggested.

Literally this.

This could have been a normal thread about the news of the team changing its name, but OP had to make it weird and derail it instantly, so, locked.
