on the ball –
Yes there is a chiluk. But without a halachic source, it is not a ‘mechalek’. You must admit that it is at least very possible that Rashi (from Chazal) meant any form of non-Jewish entertainment even non-violent and non-salacious ones. Ergo, you have no right to create an arbitrary limitation on his words just because you can identify a difference.
Funny how everyone throws around sevaros and doesn’t bother opening up an Halacha sefer. ‘Theaters and stadiums’ is mentioned in Toras Kohanim, and the Rambam (Lav 30) explains ??? ????? ?????? ???? ??????? ??? ?????? ??????. The Bach (YD 178:5) says that the reason the Rambam didn’t explain them as referring to stam places of ???? and ?????? is because the context of the pasuk implies that it is only referring to ??????? ?????? ?????? ????? ????????, but theaters made stam for ???? and ?????? is not a ??? ????. The Gra (178:1) also brings down this Rambam. I don’t know anyone who argues. Therefore Sam’s definition of theaters and stadiums is actually very well-founded, and ???? ????? ????.
