I agree its a lot the hype and all. But it is all relative, if the one involved is not that much of a Masmid in the first place, rather be involved in clean sports than just roaming the streets or surfing the web and who knows what else…
Many Bacohrim need an outlet and if sports is the outlet then nothing really wrong. The point is to keep it to a minimum and not to get too involved. (e.g. follow only Baseball and not basketball, hockey and football soccer etc..
I think ‘Mashal’ logged into his fathers phone/PC/ iPad etc or the other way around. Another example/Moshol of someone that should rather be following Sports..
