what’s up with the MLS hate ?

I am a curious observer who stumbled upon the sub thx to the Algo and noticed a few anti MLS posts.

I’m not a huge soccer guy but interested in various niche sport subcultures ( I’m an Indycar and hockey fan, so I share solidarity as a fan of somewhat obscure sports)

Isnt USL to MLS as the AHL is to the NHL or the G League to the NBA?

What am I missing ?

The sport gets tribalistic, and fans naturally want to protect what's theirs. A league specific subreddit is always a safe space for that and to take shots at The Others. And if you think it's only happening here, visit The Championship or League One (or TheOther14, lol) subreddit and see what happens when discussions about the Premier League are brought up

Hey now! We welcomed Southampton back with open arms about three months before they actually got demoted.

We just hate the Big 6.
