Isn't this the same mindset as the mullahs in Afghanistan?

Some things are permissible for some that aren't for others...all depends on their walk with God.

For me...I'll continue to watch football. :)

If football is sin, then I dont ever want to be perfect....

And no, football is sport and not a "sin". In sports, there is usually a triumphed and a victor.

2 Timothy 2:5 “Similarly, if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor’s crown unless he competes according to the rules.”

Sounds like an "ok" by me from the Bible itself.

If defeating an opponent in a game is a sin, wouldn't that make checkers a sin?

Didn't the apostle Paul use sports analogies or metaphors on more than one occasion? "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

I've been known to curse while watching football games. I suppose it does lead to sin.
