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.

The most authentic supporters groups in MLS seem to be the South and Central American influenced ones. D.C. , La , Houston, Orlando all have good ones and Atlanta should in due time.

NYCFC's groups are just laughable and plastic in every way. From trying to fight Red Bulls fans at every match, posting pics in nycfc gear like gang members making threats to other teams fans. Also song sheets let's not forget song sheets.

Back when the Union were formed and the sons of ben blew up all I could do was shake my head. Those dudes give west coast hipsters a run for their money.
