zahavasdad,
“If you can learn all day without breaks, then you should not be bittual torah for it, but for those of us not on that madreiga of the Choftez Chaim or other gedoli yisroel we need to pick our battles”
You have moved the goalposts (pun intended). First, nobody here who has objected to watching the Super Bowl has done so on the basis of bitul Torah. The basis is the pritzus inherent in an event that purposefully tries to push the boundaries of what even the hedonistic secular American culture finds acceptable. And whether it is possible to partake safely in any part of such an event (by trying to skip the commercials, halftime, etc).
