Issurim include:
Lo Sichonein= issur to compliment, flatter or to praise a non-jew. (this one is the toughest as a sports fan)

Nival peh= using bad language
(words in this catagory creeps into our subconscious minds when hearing how our “heros” speak. happened to me many times, I’m ashamed to admit.)

Negiya= this happens in crowded stadiums, and sports complexes, with people of the opposite gender sitting next to you, or when entering and leaving with the crowd.
This happens every thursday night in the kollel store (where I shop) as people try and navigate the store.
these are the MOST common one can be oiver. yes there are more but it’s my personal list.
Yes. these are very common every day problems, that one must be wary of in every day life.
