I have no opinion on whether you should become a fan of professional sports; by all means do if you want.
I do, however, have an opinion on which one if so. Supporting American football, which causes irreversible brain damage in 100% of players [1] [2], is very much not okay. Maiming and crippling people for entertainment is a moral atrocity, and shame on the author for condoning it.
