Well just my own opinion: It's wrong because it's a massive waste of time. We're not talking about people just watching a sporting event once in a while. Most people who follow sports are pretty obsessive about them. And they don't just watch one sport, but several. So they end up wasting several hours each week watching sports year-round. And then they waste several more hours discussing each match amongst each other. And then they might even start to memorize each player's stats and history, wasting precious memory.

I mean, playing sports yourself is one thing, at least you're getting exercise and enjoying some recreation at the same time. But what is so entertaining about watching other people play sports? I just don't get it. And then on top of that you have all the other haram things that come with watching sports, like cheerleaders, ads with haram content, music, gambling.
