Meh obviously Cascadia is prime time for MLSE, but I dont think its a soccer things.
You have to remember that many of the soccer mad folk in toronto, are immigrants who watch multiple soccer leagues. Epl is high on the list obviously, but there are so many others on that list.
Completely ignoring the fact that the blue jays overshadow everything else.
I think if you dont live there its hard to appreciate how much they dominate, Id bet money for residents of the actual city proper the blue jays are more popular than the leafs.
