And to the knowing fan here in the US, choosing a monster club that happens to be at the top of the table is an easy signal that you probably also root for the Yankees/Seahawks/Alabama/Heat.

For many soccer-loving Americans who don't have a local team (of which there are many), it's natural for them to latch on to the global clubs. Global clubs tend to be rich clubs, and rich clubs tend to be successful clubs. I've met many Europeans who are fans of the Yankees, the Lakers, LeBron, the Patriots, etc, and…

This isn't getting nearly enough love

Michigan does not have just one baseball team. What if someone from west MI supported the Tigers? Or south central MI? Or the mid-east coast of MI?

You want to defend MLS? That's fine, defend MLS. But discouraging Americans from supporting European clubs because Greg and Bill discourage people from watching MLS doesn't really make sense now, does it?

I think it's more a case of Americans who enjoy watching the best soccer teams in the world wanting the "You can't support Chelsea unless you're from south London" crowd to shut the fuck up.

Or, I could just as easily point out the hypocrisy of you pontificating about a real fan is one who grows up/lives in the city of Team A, sweats in the cities' factories during the week, and walks to the games on the weekend with their offspring, yet you're from Metro Detroit.

So, if one of your Albanian friends were to one day approach you and say,

Cool, so you're [Googles Vllaznia] Albanian. Yet you root for the Tigers? Seeing as you could've only "grown up" with one of these teams, then how in the fuck do you support both of them?

It's something that the working class uses as an escape from their shitty every day lives. It means a lot to them.

Ahhh, so you support DCFC?

Cardinals fan?

The Premier league isn't a bad choice, but I'm going to go with Squirtle.

Ha!

Dude, don't disrespect the North Koreans like that.

This is Louvre-worthy

Be careful. This burn could melt the ice that Ovechkin won't be backchecking on.
