Toronto FC gets little respect

Why is it that Canadian MLS club Toronto FC, is getting very little media press and respect here in the USA? After today's draw against defending champs Houston Dynamo 0-0, Toronto has a 5-7-4 record, after starting the season 1-5-0. They have sold out every home game this year, have a decent traveling support, but they get upstaged by other teams on the popularity rank. One reason may be the fact that they lack any star players. Another reason could be their lack of TV time on ESPN or Fox Soccer Channel. It could also be that their commentators actually talk about the flippin game (I know it's not one of them, but they do talk about the game). One proof of severe lack of respect is that neither forwards Danny Dichio (5 goals), or Jeff Cunningham (7 goals, 3 with Toronto), made the MLS All-Star game, in spite of the fact that they are in the top 20 in goals scored. What do you guys think? Does Toronto FC get or even deserve respect?
