What do you think about following football, professional and college? I have been less interested in it since starting teshuva and maybe will eventually loose all interest but for now it gives me a lot to discuss with my old friends who live far away and the details and strategy are still somewhat interesting. I am not a fanatic compared to some people for sure. Also what about fantasy football where you make your own team online and then it compares to other people’s teams based on player performance? Would you say that is ok? Also specifically what about making a fantasy football league for some of ones family and close friends to participate in and connect more throughout the year? On the same note, do you think it’s fair to say that being a fan of some sports, not something more violent like UFC fighting, is perhaps one of the least bad highly popular interests offered modern secular society, compared to alternatives like modern secular academia or certain political movements or constantly watching the news for example? Thank you for your time and response, I have asked a decent amount of questions this week and just want to say your responses and approach are truly appreciated.
