The Whitecaps will be about as popular as they deserve to be. I think it really depends a lot on the level at which the sport is played. NHL has the best players in the world. People are smart enough to know that. MLS has players that would fit into 2nd and 3rd teir leagues of other countries. If Canada and the US developed players like Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka, Rooney..., and were able to retain this talent in MLS, no doubt it would be a hell of a lot more popular.

This brings up a good point - Unfortunately a lot of so called sports fans only start watching when the team is winning.
