re: the comparison between movies and sports (professional, not kids playing so much)
movies are far worse, they are in a league of their own. sports isnt even in the ballpark.
and sports have an additional redeeming feature. within them the Yetzer Harah cries out: look at me! here i am, exposed! study my ways.
the illusion of chashivus in such an utterly and openly foolish concept is so apparent. draw parallels between this and the far more hidden ways of the Y’H. valuable indeed
