Remember some years ago when we put together a "cool table" based on the celebrity supporters of each Prem club at the time? Recently, I tried to fill out a similar list for each MLS club. The results are below.
Unsurprisingly, New York and Los Angeles run deep with celeb fans, while Seattle has a prototype hip Pacific northwest following and Atlanta has its large hop hop crowd that has embraced dirty south soccer. Houston, Portland, San Jose and Sporting KC aren't doing half-bad.
However, I feel as though the list isn't filled out enough to rank them, table-style. And I can only assume I've missed some, so speak up if you know anyone not charted. Just make sure it's an actual fan of the team, and not just somebody that once came to a game or was once photographed in a shirt/scarf. Everyone listed below is a genuine supporter (and yes, co-owners count).

I guess you could add Becks to Inter Miami
Oh and you put Archie Eversole 2 times
Good catches, thanks.
Keith Foulke is a Revs fan who's been seen at games and even follows all the Revs rookies on Twitter.
Coolio. Added.
Thank you for all your hard work all these years!
