Alderman Farris Bibb Jr. said the city should go slow before enacting a change. "With all due respect to Alderman Leftwich, the seventh day of the week is Saturday," Bibb said. Alderman Leftwich is a demagogue. If he wants more people in church, he should do a better job of acting like a Christian.
Maybe the first step would be to butt out of everybody else's business.

Of course, Alderman Leftwich is right.

My rabbi says no sports on Saturday...what to do? And I'm sure some Imam will insist there should be no sports at all. What to do indeed...

That'll go over like - dare I say it? - a fart in church.

ANY community can pass whatever law they wish with NO intereference from the federal govt.
If a community wants to ban sports on Sundays, then they can do so as long as they follow their own laws to pass the legislation.
Only socialists and worse would disagree.

>"God our Father intended the seventh day to be one of rest and worship," Leftwich said...
Uh, wouldn't that be SATURDAY?

"With all due respect to Alderman Leftwich, the seventh day of the week is Saturday," Bibb said. Mighty embarassing for a city official (Leftwich) to not know what day of the week he worships.

Let's all get drunk as Noah on Saturday nights and sleep in Sundays.

Hmm...no.
Local communites can't pass laws removing the 5th amendment right against self incrimination. They can't (but have been allowed to) infringe on the 2nd amendment.
The bill of rights enumerate rights which government can not take away, whether liberals or conservatives want it to be or not.

I'm pretty sure God said to recreate on the seventh day, although he might not have had baseball in mind.

I seem to recall a certain civil war going down about 150 years ago over such issues. Last I saw, the side that claimed ultimate authority of State's Rights over Federal Rights...well...lost.

And I suppose NOBODY here ever heard of an election where the people who live there could decide for themselves what they want?
What if the PEOPLE speak and say NO to sports on Sundays? Are you going to demand that they must allow it?
