Brother, do THEY know themselves, that they are showing their awrah? shorts are not THAT tight, they are wearing it for a reason, they are wearing it because they want to flex their legs, not to show their awrah.
As I said, footballers play (an official match) for 90 minutes, would someone waste their 90 minutes looking a their awrah? and also, their awrah is cover, it's not shown, maybe a bit but the majority of it, its covered.

Dude,You can achieve maximum flexibility with sports shorts, not being naked, this is where you're taking it out of context, I have wore sports shorts and they are extremely flexible.
Don't know if that was a joke.

Let's get realistic here, will we waste 90 MINUTES, looking at professional footballer's awrah? really? no one would even look at them! the audience would look at the ball, the kicks, the runs, you cant say that.
I don't know if ANYWHERE in my mind, I would think 'I need to get off the pitch, people are looking at my awrah' like why? what's the purpose of looking at a footballer's awrah? it's just stupid and illogical if you think about it, I wouldn't, because I know that people come to the stadium to watch FOOTBALL, not looking at my awrah.

This is literally what you said,

You said don't they 'show' their awrah, this is why I said you have to know the intention, the neeya, you cant say they are LITERALLY SHOWING their awrah, they are not, this is simply a misunderstanding, you don't wear shorts to 'show' your awrah, you wear shorts because it makes you flex your legs, and have the ability to kick, run, tackle.
I don't know who would play music to attract people to Islam, that's just an illogical ideafor a dawah ( no offence )
Yes but, before I do the dawah, I NEED to THINK before bringing out my dawah..
If making football haram just because one 'shows' his awrah then we're not using logic or reason here, I play football because I see it as a fun way to exercise and keep my body in shape, I love the sport too.
