Also, you cherry picked the frick out of that Timbers photo. The support that team gets is insane.


I know what kind of support they get, and I never questioned it. I just don't want my domestic league's most passionate supporters to be dykes waving rainbow flags. Also the cargo short, mask-wearing dudes from Orlando and NY is pretty gay as well.

ETA. That first comment on that video lol

I don't want my domestic league's supporters to be people so damn concerned with other people.

That's every sport with every fan base. Not even college football is without its share of fan oddities. It is disingenuous to take one small example and extrapolate across an entire fan base.

Everything has already been said so I'll just say that I agree with most of it. MLS fans, for whatever reason, seem to me to be the try to hard bunch. It's like a band geek vibe or something. And I'm not trying to be disrespectful, it's just what I see.

The fan problem MLS has is essentially the same as the American player problem. I know this has historically been a weird subject to bring up around here and I don't want to hijack the thread, but IMO the best athletes we produce aren't playing soccer. When you're dealing with 3rd or 4th tier level athletes, you also get 3rd or 4th tier everything else. Coaching, $$$, officiating, and fans too. The sport is growing though at a pretty crazy rate so things should only get better. I look forward to seeing where the league and American players in general are in a decade or two.
