Project 2025 wants to end Sunday Football (and all Sunday sports)?

[Doggin94it]

OK, so ... let's try to somehow avoid the politics aspect of this, but it's football related, so we'll give this a shot. Apparently, these morons haven't thought through what "time and a half for any work on Sunday" would mean for football (or other sports)

Quote

Sabbath Rest. God ordained the Sabbath as a day of rest, and until very recently the Judeo-Christian tradition sought to honor that mandate by moral and legal regulation of work on that day. Moreover, a shared day off makes it possible for families and communities to enjoy time off together, rather than as atomized individuals, and provides a healthier cadence of life for everyone. Unfortunately, that communal day of rest has eroded under the pressures of consumerism and secularism, especially for low-income workers.

Congress should encourage communal rest by amending the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)9 to require that workers be paid time and a half for hours worked on the Sabbath. That day would default to Sunday, except for employers with a sincere religious observance of a Sabbath at a different time (e.g., Friday sundown to Saturday sundown); the obligation would transfer to that period instead. Houses of worship (to the limited extent they may have FLSA-covered employees) and employers legally required to operate around the clock (such as hospitals and first responders) would be exempt, as would workers otherwise exempt from overtime.

Time-and-a-half for players would obviously be a massive hit to the league's bottom line, but forget about them for a second - just needing to pay time and a half to all the ancillary folks who have to work the games (broadcast, stadium employees, trainers, etc. etc.) would probably force a crap-ton of games off of Sunday. Most likely, the NFL would move games to Saturday and compete with college football. MLB, NBA would just have to avoid Sunday scheduling. Are these people out of their damned minds?

This is not going to end well.  So i am just going to end it now before it gets ugly.  If one of my fellow mods disagrees, feel free to re-open the thread, but these types of discussions always end up off the rails.
