We all played soccer as kids but I've never overheard anybody talking about MLS. Never had a conversation myself. Never seen an MLS jersey in the city. Never even met anyone who has mentioned MLS in more than passing. I lived in Vancouver and people barely knew who the Whitecaps were and that's a way bigger, more multicultural city.
It's a niche sport in our city. Similar to lacrosse. Which is fine! But don't kid yourself.
