All the Spanish teams can only be refered to Real if a King of Spain declares he supports them. It kind of stopped changing the names like 50 years ago though. Mainly a traditional thing that has died out.

Ah...

The American team is probably just doing it because they think it sounds cool.

I mean America has only had one king.  Well Emperor really... and he was more of a Sanfran guy.
