Why is baseball or other sports so bad? I’m actually asking I hate when everyone attacks discourages and demean people here. If you are not becoming overly obsessed, and letting results truly effect your life why not? I think sporting events can be a great bonding experience for father and son, brothers, or even families. Obviously when you have someone checking stats ( like I sometimes do when a giant game is on) very 2 minutes, and screaming/cursing at refs calls and letting losses ruin their days fine I can see why obsessions like those are extreme. But to say that sports in general are all negative and we shouldn’t watch I don’t understand. I am obviously not a Posek and no one on here is a big gadol I assume so for us why can’t we like sports?
I also know of a number of frum couples who went to Yankees/jets whatever games after they had been dating for a while..?
