Atleast it's better than watching a bunch of tall black guys throw a ball through a hoop over and over again.

Your right but some of that comes down to stadium size, price of tickets...and the fact that it may be a lot of 1st generation Americans at the games. Also it may have something to do with location as well...

but what are the tv ratings? More people watch the crossfit games in the US :troll:

The Fallacy of Major League Soccer Attendance Figures

lol this link actually is really positive about the future of football/soccer in US

The Premier League, which struck a 3-year, $250 million deal with NBC starting next season...

One strategy, however, is working for MLS: limiting the length of TV contracts to 3 years. This puts MLS in a good position to adapt to changes in the TV market. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman probably didn’t see Fox Sports 1 and 2 coming when he negotiated that 10-year, $2 billion deal with NBC in 2011 — the largest TV deal in NHL history, but one that doesn’t allow the league much flexibility in a changing market.

In contrast, MLS’s current TV contracts expire after the 2014 season, and the arrival of new national Fox Sports channels gives Garber a bit of negotiating leverage with NBC and ESPN — in no small part because Fox takes over FIFA World Cup coverage after 2014 and seems likely to keep soccer front and center on its networks. Also, let’s not forget that NBCUniversal also owns Telemundo, so it’s not unreasonable to think they might try to outbid Univision for the Spanish-language rights to MLS and keep that league all in the family. Should a bidding war break out on either front, MLS could possibly double its TV revenue for the 2015, 2016, and 2017 seasons.

More TV revenue means a higher salary cap and larger minimum salaries, which attracts better-quality players, which increases the overall level of play, which makes the league even more appealing to TV networks, which leads to… more TV revenue. This is the virtuous cycle that Garber wants to perpetuate for club soccer in America, and as long as cable sports networks are raking in subscriber fees, this strategy has a chance at succeeding. The next round of TV contracts will determine just how well this plan is working.
and then there are some nice videos
