Liga MX leads the way again this week, taking the three top spots in regards to soccer on US cable TV.
MLS only had a couple games on cable as they continued to show games on traditional broadcast TV (to relatively great success - 851k for the SKC v MIN game last Thursday, one of the best in league history). MLS playoff ratings are good, but they will lose any ground they gain because there's only one game left while their major competitors on US television continue on.

Sometimes I wonder what would've happened had all the cash that's been plowed into US soccer from the 70s through to today been put into professionalizing another established participant sport like softball or volleyball.
...@Bobby - I think Softball would be considered a "top 5" pro sport. College softball, when it's on, tops MLS ratings, NWSL, women's national team (non-world cup) and match EPL, NHL regular season, men's college basketball regular season ratings already.
@Larry. Agreed. Attendance is really good in the hotbed areas too.
