I hold that football is avodah zara. During football season every sunday frum yidden plant themselves in front of the tv from early in the morning, to watch the pre game analyses, until the wee hours of monday morning so they can watch the analyses of every game afterwards. And then of course monday has a din of yom kippur to these people because of monday night football (yemach shmo). People are beyond obsessed with it its mamish insane. People will miss weddings and other important events because chas v’shalom they should miss a minute of a football game. What a bizayon hatoira! The other sports from my observation are not worshiped to the same degree.
