“The argument against watching sports is Bittual torah, not Prizus”
Not that I’ve seen, either in this thread or other discussions of sports. You can’t shoot an arrow, then paint a target where it landed and claim a bullseye. I’ve seen some argue that sports fandom is a huge financial and emotional investment in something that is hevel at its core (not a uniquely Jewish argument), but that is not the same thing as bitul Torah. And the theme of this thread through and through has been specifically issues of exposure to pritzus while watching the Superbowl.
