Maybe I am rebuking people too much?
Psalm 141:5 (King James Version)
5Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

I hope by Gods help I am able bear when others rebuke me!
I'm almasihi and new here, so much to the introduction.
I think that sport is a very good and beneficial activity for the physical and psychological maintenances of our earthly bodies. (I hope servant of god agrees since he is a medical student.) Sport also keeps us active and busy, which doesn't allow any boredom to appear i.e. to give the Satan a chance to tempt us with useless or even harmful actions. On the other hand we shouldn't invest all our time in sport like the extreme sportler, who are obsessed with sport and for which it became their new god, but we should aim a healthy balance.
However, there are a lot of things covered under the name of sport, which have nothing to do with our benefit like cheerleading as servant mentioned or extreme sports. This are sinful things, which tempt us and hurt our bodies and souls i.e. the temple of god and the dwelling of the holy spirit.
Glory for god, Amen.
I also want to thank servant for welcoming me :)

It is true that Satan is tempting us in anything and everything since he is like a hungry lion looking for a prey, but boredom make things worse. I don't know if you know the show Jackass, but these people are doing disgusting things and hurting them self out of boredom.
