There are many reasons why Jesus wouldn't be a sports fan today, at least of professional sport.
Among these are the high salaries made by many professional athletes. There is the business of sport, in which the main focus is the bottom line, over even the interests of the sports clientele; there are the violence and cheating engaged in by many athletes; and there are the athletes who are poor role models for the young and the not-so-young who look up to and often idolize them.
