I'm American and I don't care about Soccer, esp major league soccer. I don't even know where any teams are located much less their names and such. I have no idea what it's season is but i'm sure it would conflict with America's real sports; football basketball and baseball.
also, I keep up some with golf.
so add Nascar and tennis who the hell has time for some foreign game?

The people who decide the scheduling for the MLS are just a bunch of idiots. I want to watch the MLS, I'm going to watch it when Atlanta gets a team, but right now I'd rather watch something else sports wise.
I watch the EPL as much as I can and rarely ever miss an Arsenal game.

well yea...you're old and stuck in your ways.
And that's not meant to be a knock. But you're certainly not the demographic they're trying to reach.

If it ain't EPL or champions league, I don't watch. I make special concessions for el clasico.

Not really, I keep up with Premier League more. The players are better there.
I will say I'm glued to the screen come World Cup time

He's right. Soccer is cool and I don't mind watching the U.S. national team but MLS is garbage. The difference in quality of MLS compared to La Liga and EPL is stark. It's like comparing the WNBA to the NBA. It's not even the same game.

I only watch America in the world cup, and that's because America, not soccer.
I personally don't care about the MLS.

No, I hate soccer and I'm not ignorant of the fact that the talent in MLS blows
I'll only watch soccer if USA was playing and it mattered

Maybe overall, but is super popular among millinials and younger.

Do baseball fans care about A+ leagues?
I was surprised at how well minor league baseball is doing.
A total of 42,411,194 Minor League Baseball fans came through the turnstiles this season, marking the 10th consecutive year that the organization has drawn an excess of 41 million fans
The number represents increases in both total number of fans (857,413) and percentage of fans (2.1%) from 2013. The 2014 attendance figures follow third only to 2008's all-time record-setting attendance of 43.3 million and 42.8 million in 2007. All of Minor League Baseball's top 10 regular season attendance years have been in the last decade, signaling in part the growth and stability of the organization.

They'll grow tired of it and that will be the height of soccer's popularity in America.

I mean I would consider myself the farthest thing from a hipster and I've fallen in love with the EPL. I'd rather watch it on the weekends now than CBB.
It won't ever surpass CFB or the NBA for me, but I definitely have a tough choice on Sunday's if I want to watch it or the NFL.

Yea no one is claiming it's baseball or football but its almost hacky to say no one cares about soccer. Yea I'm also not a hipster.
