Making the Sunday scheduling a standard is mostly for convenience sake because almost every game is going to have a Christian school playing in it, while it would be unusual for a Jewish school to be playing due to their relatively small number. You make exceptions to the norm to accommodate the smaller groups. It would be unreasonable to ask the league to never have games on Friday nights because you have Jews in the league. But it's good form to change the game date on the rare occasion that one of the (few) Jewish schools is playing. It's also unreasonable to ask TAPPS to regularly schedule games on Sunday because you'd be making scheduling adjustments every single week!

Very well said.

And just when I thought this thread had taken a turn toward common sense and civility, along comes 14bricks...

TAAPS is a private organization, its not required to let anybody join that they don't want, like the political correct nutjobs want them to.

I'm grabbing a chair and a drink so I can enjoy listening to all the hypocrites that are going to show up with this story.
