I agree with the last poster, i think it would be better to finish saturday night and why not even start thursday night and play friday and saturday. what is the difference from missing work than missing church?? They are both important, yet almost eveyone on a travel team chooses to miss sunday worship than miss a day at work on thurday. My girlfriend plays on a SB travel team and so far they have played 3 tournamenent and every single weekend they have had games on sunday starting at 9 and finishing around 5. it is true that some churches start earlier and some later to make room for these people, but they are few, just like one poster said. i believe all governing bodies of these travel teams sound step in and make a rule or statue about playing on sunday. money should be beside the point in all of this.
I also believe that any member of the Lords Church should be ashamed for letting it get this far and im telling this to myself, i have missed church to see a ball game and i am ashamed of myself. Even though I am 17, I still believe that if only a small group would appeal to a governing body that it would be taken seriously.
