“Totally not tzinus women everywhere.”

I believe that this is the biggest problem with going to a sports game. If a man goes to a stadium during the summer, he will see things that he absolutely may not be seeing.

“the core reason of why people like sports is because they want to be part of a winning team. Why do people need to feel that? Because they’re losers in the parts of their life where they feel they should be winners.”

I don’t believe that’s true at all. Everyone enjoys winning.

“its actually a rashi mifureshes on the passuk of ubichukosaihem lo seileichu. a”s.”

True, Rashi does say it is assur to go to a stadium. But you have to realize, the program in the stadiums then quite literally consisted of giluy arayos, shvichas dumim, and avodah zarah. Today its just some ball.

“Why not ban riding the subway in the summer too, there is Prizut”

If it can be avoided, by all means stay away from it.

Toi/Git Meshige:

Petty insults have no place here. Or anywhere, for that matter.

zahavasdad:

All you’ve done is prove that people do go to ball games, not that it’s okay to do so.

“(I have at different times called someone who would argue with R’ Moshe’s P’sakim L’ma’aseh (in America, at least; not necessarily in Eretz Yisrael) a Zaken Mamrei or a Mored B’malchus.”

Didn’t R’ Moshe hold it was assur to listen to music?
