MLS is growing, fast

[Evan]

This year, US's professional soccer/association football league, Major League Soccer has hit an all-time high of attendance.
It passes NHL (National Hockey League) and NBA (National Basketball Association) in number of attendance.
It is 3rd in most attended sport in America, behind NFL (National Football League) and MLB (Major League Baseball).

Maybe we finally have many more soccer fans! However, we still have a long way to go.
Yeah, I know US mens soccer sucks, it's because of our way of thinking towards soccer.
We tend to flow with the idea that soccer is a womens sport, hence explains why US womens soccer is #1, hopefully we can change that.

MLS is #10 in the world.
1. English Premier League: 35,283
2. Germany Bundesliga: 42,101
3. Spain La Liga: 29,128
4. Mexico Primera: 26,722
5. Italy Serie A: 24,031
6. Argentina Primera: 19,843
7. France Ligue 1: 19,650
8. Netherlands Eredivisie: 19,116
9. Japan J League 1: 18,428
10. U.S. Major League Soccer: 17,870
11. England League Championship: 17,388
12. Brazil Serie A: 14,839
13. Germany Bundesliga: 14,539
14. Scottish Premier League: 13,677


NFL is still king at 66,950 and MLB is at 30,352.

Spain La Liga is the best league, the best players are there, then Premier. Just see the match viewers history record.
Barcelona - Real Madrid, like 70 countries watching it. (League, Champions and Copa del Rey).

This isn't about watching it, this is about attending it.
