the MLS isnt a "big time league!"...OK.. I can handle that... The only thing I care about is being able to go to Kansas City...or Columbus and seeing a professional game... NOT hear how well they stack up to some fancy pants snotty ego-inflated overseas leauge or team.
MLS is for Americans, and it is only a part of the bigger American soccer picture... Div 1, Div 2, and PDL teams draw just as much devotion (GO MENACE 2005 PDL champs!!)... Guess what I'm asking is why cant the rest of the world leave us and our measly little league alone? WHY Cant I watch my country's soccer leauge in peace with out some overseas hater deciding to chime in with their 2 shillings worth..(like I can or care to spend that here in the US)?

Its b/c people hate what they fear, and the US has made such strides over the past decades everyone fear us. Its ok, we'll take them over just like we have in every single other aspect of life, its the American way and weak europeans can't stop us and they know it.

It's going to take time. The people in charge of MLS are following a plan of slow steady growth for the league. As MLS teams start to play in more international tournaments and can get some wins against bigger, better funded teams, respect will come eventually. It wouldn't hurt to see a US National team with several MLS players on the roster do well at the next World Cup.

That first answer.."The MLS is "too American" !!
No kidding Sherlock, what did you expect? That the American League should be too Australian???!
Oh, and "SS LAZIO"..answers like yours are precisely why no-one takes MLS and and their apologists too seriously.
And in answer to the original question, no-one who knows anything about world football would disrespect the MLS on the basis that it isn't "big time". There are hundreds of leagues in the UK , Italy, Germany, and South America that aren't big time either. They are simply dissing the MLS because its a laugh to do so... because of the outraged reactions we get.

The MLS is not a good league. Euros make fun of it b/c it is a laughingstock. It is too American. Not enough good players. Maybe will change when Becks comes
