I celebrate and cheer when my team wins as well, that isn't idolatory. Try thinking out of the box and try to see that the clip was made to try and help someone that has misplaced their priorities with regards to sport. It may well bring people closer to God which I'm sure is their intention.

I don't know of any Christians that have prioritized sports higher than God... not one.
As far as being in the pews looking at their wrist watch... that doesn't mean they are not listening that only means they can multitask. As far as them being worried they will miss the beginning of a big game while a preacher is being longwinded and repeating things they already know...well I can't blame them there. Maybe the preacher should learn not to be so boring or to get his point across a little faster.
