Ordinance means a local law that citizens must obey or face criminal charges. That's not a request, that's an attempt to force the private religious views of a full-of-himself posturing elitist on a bunch of kids playing soccer -- using the force of the law.

Hey dummy, that's how it works in this country. No one said you have to like his proposal. But if either a majority of the people or the majority of the city council or the chief executive of the municipality (or however this particular place's legislating works) agrees, then yeah, it becomes law. It's called majority rule.

And yeah, you have to follow that law under threat of punishment, though I am sure the "criminal charges" will be something along the lines of a fine or citation. It's called the Rule of Law.

And, there is nothing unconstitutional about it. Hell, up in the Northeast we still have "blue laws" regarding alcohol sale on Sundays.

Hey, in my city, no one is allowed in the public parks after midnight. They're considered trespassing after that point. Isn't that discrimination against all the vampires and goths in my city?

Hey dummy

Prefacing your comments with a childish and insulting phrase like this makes it clear that you are not to be taken seriously. Don't ever post a reply like that to me again unless you want to be reported for abuse. Either be respectful or go elsewhere.
