MLS isn't a sport. It's a league.
Read it and weep, idiot.
By the way, this is done by a complex data gathering system powered by ESPN's surveys and statistics.

Rich Luker, a 59-year-old baseball-loving social scientist based in North Carolina, is the brains behind the ESPN Sports Poll, the complex database that recently pronounced soccer as America's second-most popular sport for those age 12-24, outstripping the NBA, MLB and college football. Luker is also the man who discovered that three soccer players -- Lionel Messi (16th), iconic veteran David Beckham (20th), and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo (24th) -- rank among the 50 most popular athletes in America.
"Unbelievably, [Lionel] Messi ranks ahead of Dwyane Wade," Luker marveled. "Only two baseball players, Albert Pujols and Derek Jeter, are ahead of him."

Not sure why they separated college football/basketball and pro football/basketball. Your chart would indicate that soccer is the 3rd most popular sport.

That data doesn't mean shite to me without his methodology.

So they lump Soccer into one big sport but they separate baseball, football and basketball?
Doesn't make sense.
