Since footballs are made from cows are vegans allowed to watch NFL games? I figure that by watching these games you are giving money to the NFL which in essence supports the killing of cows since that's what their footballs are made of. Also, what about actually playing football? Unless you use a synthetic this would seem extremely hypocritical to me.

Same thing for basketball, what do you thinK?

Now that I am a vegetarian. I heard thousands of animals are slaughtered every year for the leather to make the footballs and mitts.
