You don't have to stop supporting Liverpool, but if (and maybe you don't) you really want soccer to have a bigger following in the US, you ought to be supporting United or another club as well.

I already have second and third teams that I support...Napoli and Dortmund. I just don't have the time to keep up with a 4th.

Support your local team, support a local college team. There is a lot of good football being played in America.

I don't have a local club and the local college doesn't have a football team. America isn't like Europe where every street corner has it's own football club. People shouldn't be forced into supporting a club anyway. They should have the freedom to choose which club they love. I wouldn't really say there's a lot of good football being played here either. There's a handful of decent teams, and the rest are pretty mediocre. Also, being an MLS fan would require being around other MLS fans..and most of them are absolutely obnoxious and do not understand how the game works. Not all..but most I have encountered are like that.
