I'd like to add that I was at the Canucks game last night and I had this thread in mind at the time. The crowd at the game was as diverse as the streets of the city. Proportionally the crowd was maybe slightly less East Asian and slightly more South Asian, but still lots of East Asians (just probably not ~40% of the arena). Nobody at a Canucks game could claim hockey is a white person's sport, at least not in terms of spectators. Wait another generation and I bet Canadian players of Chinese, Indian, etc descent will be more common as well.
Now let's try to get back on topic. Feel free to continue this discussion in a separate thread though.
Obviously not surprised that Portland won their MLS bid. Will certainly make things more interesting in this part of the continent.
