Do you follow MLS? [View all]

For those who regularly peruse Soccer/Football (I know a couple of you are fans), what are your feelings about MLS? It's really not such a terrible league, and for all its many faults, it has lived up to the promise of elevating the game in the US.

What do you think? Do you have a dog in the MLS fight? Think it's a big joke? Just wondering
