Soccer is nowhere near the 2nd most popular sport in teens/young adult males 
Jesus you soccer fans will make up shite to try and make your sport seem like it's more popular than it really is. MLS is far from a top 5 sport in this country. FAR from it. Hell the MLS cup had a 0.7 overnight rating, which was down from the year before. Hell, the MLS Cup hasn't had a single game draw a 1.0 since 2001.
Yeah it's THAT popular in the USA. shite more people buy above average boxing ppvs than that.

Yes it is. Some soccer fig will come here and post the link. I already asked where do you live? I live in NOLA and I see more Messi jerseys worn by kids than anything besides Brees and Graham.

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."

It is even behind TNA wrestling. TNA Impact Wrestling gets over 1.0 every week.
