Should Orthodox Jews Love Sports? (A BeEzrat HaShem Inc Film)

[Music] where does the word Sports come from Sparta Sparta were the place where you have people where all they cared about is their body their physique the materialism and the anti T what does it mean to be anti T anti t means they cannot live in peace so long as the Tor exist so these people these did everything they possibly could to destroy the Jews by enticing them to join Sports to live life to be careful about their physique do all types of exercises they made the coliseums where they would have they still have these coliseums uh in the old ones in Rome and other places around the world in Greece but then you have giant ones all over the United States they just call them sports stadiums these are coliseums where you have 22 Giant overgrown males trying to kill each other over some pig skin or a bunch of guys trying to fight over a little uh ball or whatever it is all of these people this is all Sparta this continuation of Sparta now the mentality of following Sports being allowed is one of the tools of Amal one of the tools of the Arab that if you're allowed to follow Sports why because Sports unlike anything else Sports is very addic Ive you can't just watch a game that you don't know who's playing like you're not just going to watch some random high school basketball game and everybody else is just an average player or less you have to watch the NBA and it's not just the NBA you have to watch the team that you like and how you going to like them you have to follow them you have to follow their players and who they're trading and who they're getting as the Rookie of the Year and who's the best sister and who's the best s and that and all that and what kind of sneakers is he wearing and what kind of this and what's his salary cap and he's getting paid too much he's getting paid too little and he's signed with Nike but he's with Adidas and what ends up happening you become a fan what's a fan where does fan come from fanatic fanatic about sports you know everything about these teams you're not just watching a 90minut game you're investing your life into it because in order to like the game to like the teams you have to know who's playing and why you like them you don't just like them because he's 6'6 and jump 40 in into the air and he runs a 40 a 39 no you don't care about that you care about different things that means you have to invest a lot of time into this and that is a lot more than the 90 minutes of the actual the 60 minutes that the basketball game or the football game or the baseball game is it's a huge investment you're constantly watching it you're constantly looking at it you're constantly arguing about it which means that even when you try to learn you try to learn you're thinking RAB AKA yeah RAB AKA R AKA Michael Jackson Michael Jordan Michael this Michael that LeBron James you're not even sure who you're reading about you're start to think maybe AA and ra maybe his maybe in the cave you had a basketball you start distorting things in your head you can't be focused when you're a fan now are you allowed to play sports is a different question playing sports in order to exercise is allowed you're allowed to play a little bit of basketball as long as it's not on Shabbat because for anyone that's an adult the ball is considered M and it's also something that you do during during the weekday not action that you would do on Shabbat but if it's during the week you want to exercise via playing basketball via exercising running or something like that whatever you want to do that's allowed that's allowed to exercise but to become a fanatic to be become one of the people that watches the games on a regular basis absolutely forbidden not only as a but also as could be even considered to some extent why when you become a fan you simply start obsessing over these people obsessing over this sport fighting over it crying over it what you're 25 years old you idiot you're crying over a bunch of people that make $50 million a year cuz they lost you idiot you understand what they're going to do to you in sham for crying over this but not crying over the bet mikdash you
