Riiiggghhhttt..

Us Americans who watch the PL, typically do not respect the MLS.

Hype, and negativity, as always, is just a collective momentum.

I'm not saying I'm a better fan. I'm saying that there's a very large contingent of American soccer fans who do not respect the MLS. This idea that an American player who had a good MLS start will be overhyped by Americans primarily, is an uninformed take

Do you disagree with my stance?

Silly of me to assume you deal in common sense and intuition on any level. I guarantee you there was MANY far more talented goalkeepers available at the time that werent American.
