I recall a wonderful story here on YWN about a year ago concerning a well know rav from EY who was visiting with family in Scotland and who was caught on the liveTV cameras broadcasting an important football (aka soccer) game with the Israeli national team. He was shown on TV with his head buried in a sefer and serenely learning while sitting next to his daughter and son-in-law who was the Jewish chaplain at a local college who had taken a bunch of bochurim to the game. I don’t recall his being queried later about being a participant in “bitul torah” but simply was enjoying a few hours with his family engaged in some health recreation. See the YWN link below
