Did see this. Hilarious.

And it's not that the MLS sucks as a league, but that Americans are sports snobs. It is beyond interesting that we would wake up at 8am on a Sunday to watch a league half the world away, but won't go see the league that plays in Commerce City. Most non-European countries would pack stadiums to see "second tier" club football.

Snobs. And I'm one of them.
