What's the rationale? The edit summary for the move claims the Royals website doesn't suffix FC as often, but they're still extensively using "Utah Royals FC" and "URFC" in their own press releases and branding, such as https://www.rsl.com/utahroyals/news/utah-royals-fc-unveil-plans-for-2024-training-home-at-zions-bank-real-academy. Their major social media handles all still use "Utah Royals FC" in either the username, display name, or both: Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter. Coverage is mixed but still uses "Utah Royals FC", including recent coverage: KSL on 26 October, Deseret News on 26 October, CBS on 26 October. - 71.34.68.224 ( talk) 02:42, 5 November 2023 (UTC) reply

What's the rationale for renaming the article again? - 71.34.68.224 ( talk) 23:17, 12 January 2024 (UTC) reply
