Just like in the Christian church there seems to be some difference of opinion. I can agree that love of sports and obesession with sports teams isn't beneficial. I agree that a primary focus of sports activity should be physical fitness...I don't, however, play sports to get ready for battle.
I am glad that both agree that football (we call it soccer) should be fun.
The Fatwa humored me though in that so much of the edict was geared towards "not doing as the infidels do." If a muslim were to live in a world deviod of "infidel" influence than that muslim couldn't watch TV, eat a lot of foods, drive cars, fly airplanes etc...ALL "infidel" creations.
