Interesting if sort of typical perspective given the source. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/26/magazine/is-it-immoral-to-watch-the-super-bowl.html?_r=0
And probably a typical set of negative responses. Is it 'immoral' to watch the Super Bowl? | On Air Videos | Fox News (not sure how long the clip will be available at the link)
Maybe if some of the recent concussion issues are addressed that removes some of the sixth commandment concerns (thou shalt not kill); but nothing can remove the first, second, third and fourth commandment issues (recall the rules for rightly understanding the 10 commandments). What is missing from the questioner and those dismissing it is any regard for the Lord of heaven and earth and the propriety He reserves to himself in one day out of seven.
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
