Fotball (soccer) fate in Taiwan

It's really shitty that football is so unpopular in here (Taiwan), such that there's no live coverage of Euro 2008, one of the most popular event in the world in this month. All they're showing on TV are baseball, baseball, and baseball. My Goodness!!
The Taiwan people here adore New York Yankee like it's their national team. And it's all just because one of the players is coming from Taiwan. Though it is respectable, it doesn't mean that you need to cover all their matches 24 hours a day (ok, not that much, but almost 23 hours i think).

Maybe I'm biased, but I really think that baseball is not a good choice for "national sport".

1. It takes a lot of time for a match (3-4 hours).
2. Most of the time it's just boring throw and catch. Once in a while you'll see home-runs and some nice catch, but that's all.
3. It's not intense & continuous action like football,basketball, or badminton. You'll see the pitcher do some pose, and the batter swinging his bat waiting for ball, etc. That's why you see a lot of players who are overweight(like pics below):






But sadly I don't think the sport trend in Taiwan will change in any foreseeable future, at least when some (or even just one) of their players are playing in MLB. it's a pity....
