It's also hard as shite to find a MLS match on TV unless you buy MLS Live.
It's much easier for me to find an EPL game on TV than a MLS game.

I just mainly watch soccer when the US is playing or when one of the bigger national tournaments like the Euro or World Cup is going on.
My pro sports rooting interests are based on proximity and it is hard to just pick a team overseas to cheer for.

Man, this thread is worse than trying to watch a single inning of baseball. Holy crap.

That's like someone's favorite golfer being Padrig Harrington or Martin Kaymer.

They do. They also want to promote what makes them the most money. ie. THE BIGGEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD.

No. I think you just can't comprehend a game where the best league and players aren't in America. I'm a huge MLS fan and I hope it gets there one day. But today is not that day. I will support it until then, but it's not there.

that would be like me choosing to watch heat games over pels games because their team is better

No, it's actually nothing like that. The Heat and the Pels both play in the the same league (not sure if you knew this).

What happens in 20 year when the MLS is better? Do these Euro fans in America switch their fandom?

There's nothing to switch. Most soccer fans watch and like MLS (and three or four other leagues) Again, I think most people simply can't understand following several leagues and liking several teams. It's nothing like football, basketball, or baseball. Soccer is global.
