I didnt really follow MLB either until I was 19, but its no surprise that younger ppl and kids like MLS. I dont get soccers appeal, I really dont. Ive tried to give it a chance, but its so boring. I get theres always running and pundits against baseball say it's boring and sitting around but I still find it much more interesting. Even when comparing other minor sports ive tried to get myself to watch like rugby, aussie rules football, tennis, lacrosse, hockey,....every 1 of those are way more interesting than soccer. Its a world obsession I will never understand. But I have no doubt that in 20 years when many of the old farts keeping MLB relevant pass away MLS will start to exceed MLB as a whole

I think baseball and soccer are alike in that they are both fun to play but boring to watch.

It's like a "Where's Waldo?" picture. It's supposed to be fun.

Did you ever play soccer? To what level.

It's definitely harder to appreciate if you never played at a competitive level.

I played it when I was a little kid. Hated it. Parents made me play. I also didn't really like baseball, but not because it wasn't fun. It was fun, I just wasn't good at it. I wasn't a very good hitter. But then I found golf and basketball, which I found much more fun because I could actually play those well. I never really found soccer fun, running around for 2 hours, then the game ends and its 1-0. Just seems like a waste of time.

I stopped playing soccer when I was 6.

But, I started getting into it during World Cup 2002. I was intrigued by the idea of America sort of forging into a sport that was unknown territory for us. I liked the idea of the United States rising up to one day dominate the rest of the world at their own game. Seemed like such an American thing to try and do.

I was initially only intrigued by the USMNT.

Then I started getting into playing FIFA. It might sound weird, but when I started to get really good at the game I noticed that my understanding of the game really increased. Suddenly, I found myself really enjoying watching ANY soccer on television. I go out of my way to watch EPL/La Liga/Champion's League on television. So enjoyable for me.

Oh I agree. It definitely helps to be the guy who likes the underdog, and see your own country play that roll. I first got swept up by the USWNT, but have a special affinity towards the USMNT, b/c they play on a much less level playing field. Doesn't take long to get caught up if you find you enjoy the sport.

There is a certain appeal of the larger than life personalities of the game too. I mean, top NFL players are famous here, but Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar are recognized the world over.

One other thing of note is the NBA has the fastest growing popularity of the younger crowd.

It's also regaining a considerable share that it lost.
