Is watching TV or turning on the radio a sin? I turn on the TV every night, here is what I see. Sex, drunkenness, drugs, foul mouth, murder, and so fourth. Which would you rather watch? Sports or Jersey Shore? Which is more beneficial?
Sports show good values, it is for the most part pure entertainment.
To say being a sports fan is sin, is to go too far. To say having sports as idol is sin, is right on the money.
If we can't enjoy activities that our outside of theology then how can we see God's glory? I enjoy theology God is more present in theology then he is in sports. My sport is hiking, while its not the study of God, I can see God's glory in it.
Just as when I'm watching a baseball game, I'm relaxed and calm in the spirit. While my mind is on the game, my mental state is relaxed. If I'm always uptight is that beneficial to my temple?
I could take this in many directions but I won't.
