Soccer pretty much dominates the spot here, followed by tennis, volleyball, marathons, and other olympic sports. NBA has a little bit of coverage here, back in the mid 90s you could spot a game on a non-cable station sometimes, today you might see the highlights of a game the day after. Football is broadcasted by ESPN and FOX over here, but has little to no attention of the media. I've seen newspapers and sports show talk a little bit about the superbowl the day after, but only for the past 5 years or so. There are some amateur football leagues in Brazil, they play on the beach, 90% of them are in Rio. I've played beach football once, as a quarterback. In one play I kept the ball for too long, was tackled into the ground and hurted my knee, so that was the end of it. Baseball is hardly broadcast, ESPN has shown a few games for the past 2 or 3 years, but it gets absulutely no coverage from the media. I'm still not sure of what the baseball rules are.
