As with many other things I would not be interested in calling sports a sin (as you would probably agree... ) but I do think that some men have WAY too much emphasis on sports. Of course, being a man who is not interested in sports in the least, I may be somewhat biased.
I see wives being neglected, children being neglected and many other things falling by the wayside because of some men's overwhelming obsession with sports.
There is a lot of preaching about moderation in a lot of things and sports is something that should be touched on more than it is.
While, as I previously stated, I don't see writing sports as a whole off as a sin being an answer I do see where sports feeds the primal nature of men (and some women alike). It does bring out the most gutteral and primal instincts which would tend to be contrary to what God wants to bring out in us IMO.
Good natured sports between friends can be enjoyed without any major attitude issues... I want to be sure and recognize that.
But... I think that moderation in this area would improve the lives of the individual and many around them.
