I see nothing wrong with moving team practice to a time when “most of the team” can practice. That is the entire basis of this article.

Now, what you are also mentioning is where you and I are in lock-step agreement. Sorry, my taxdollars no more will pay for a foot-bath than it will go to fund a Jewish, Christian or Wiccan religous article. When you are talking about my taxdollars - then we have agreement.

But, the coach is trapped. Either not practice and lose his job (his win/loss record impacts his employment) or practice at night to accomodate “most of the team” and face ridicule from the public.

Again, our local high schools have practice on Saturdays as well as the school week. There is no practice on Sundays, out of respect for the predominant Christian faith. The coaches know that if they hold practice on Sunday, there will be a revolt and he’ll have a majority of the team not allowed to show up.

This ‘concession’ is only logical.
