Absolutely not. If you let them watch sports, their role models will not be gedolim, but rather they will be the sports players and they will want to look like them, dress like them, talk like them, etc. Watching sports is a waste of time, and going with their stadiums and seeing how these fools act like , with their cursing, yelling, pritzusdik women and shirtless men, crazy alcoholics, not tzinus ads, hedonistic gluttons, violence, השם ירחם. And to go there with a kipa & tzitzis, oy what a חילול השם! Our ancestors fought against such things during the times of Antiochus HaRasha, as the Greeks used sports to lure Jews into their trap. The yavonim (Greeks) even made a sports stadium right next to the Beis Hamikdosh! And here we are , 2000 years later , encouraging the same thing our ancestors put their lives on the line for. We might have won then, but the Greeks won in the long run. Keep your child away from sports like it’s cocaine!
