Soccer is a national sport with no personal attachment like MLB,NFL and NBA.By that I mean most cities or states have their own team,which makes it a more intimate connection.As a Raven's fan I feel closer to the team since they represent my city.I feel a since of pride when I drive near Camden yards and M&T bank stadium,plus being black I grew up playing basket ball and football or owning one of those balls like most blacks.Then you have high school and college baeball,basket ball and football.Small towns and states have their own teams with huge rivalrys.

What? The MLS is exactly like the MLB, NFL, NBA. Most cities or states do have their own team. If you can feel an intimate connection to your local MLB, NFL or NBA team why can't you your local MLS team?

I think it's the baltimore blast lol but they don't even promote it.Growing up in the city there is not much grass to play soccer and not gaols.It is easier to get a basket ball or a football and just run around out back or throw the football around.
