1. I would say follow a club over a league. Having an invested interest in outcomes makes matches 10x more exciting (least it does for me). Go to a match, experience the atmosphere and realize what makes the sport special all over the world.
2. Level of play is improving and honestly outside a dozen or so league around the world MLS is very respectable. As someone who has watched Japanese, Australian, Danish, Scottish, and Bolivian matches at times it is fine to me vast majority of the matches.
3. The biggest thing I champion about MLS over other leagues people compare it to (speificially Europe) is that at the start of a season in MLS half of the clubs have legitimate hopes of lifting silver ware, compared to 2-4 in big European leagues. This makes it far more engaging to me as through the year who will can shift. Right now Dallas has a great start, but maybe they slip up and Seattle or Los Angeles retakes position or Toronto makes a big move or someone else surprises us.
Of course I cannot convince you and appreciate you being nice about not being a fan.
