Will Hopoate won't Play on Sundays, other playerd might folloe his lead

Maybe Mormon NFL players will sign similar contracts, where they are allowed to miss Sunday games. And only play on Monday, Thursday, or Saturday games.

This time I get the joke.

Most people loving taking stands when it doesn't cost them anything.
It's the rare person who will throw away their livelihood or riches for the sake of a religious practice/custom. |
But it's pretty awesome to get the Rugby Union to bow down to you.

Actually this is nothing new in Rugby. Sid Going did it a long time ago.

Maybe the most famous case: Sandy Koufax.

It's kind of funny (interesting) that the most prominent example an American church cites is from a non-American.
It's kind of catch-22. You can't celebrate your Sunday athletes and also celebrate your athletes who refused to play on Sundays. There was the guy that was drafted by the Raiders and refused to play because of Sundays. |
