Would you let your child participate in this?

[level.eleven]

I'm thinking I'd be giving the coach his choice of two answers:

1. No.
2. Hell F***ING no

I can relate to the idea of practicing out of the heat of the day, however the argument of "diversity" does not give cause for my kid to be up from ~2100 to ~1630 to allow for practice, then school. School-age kids aren't allowed to work at a job after a certain hour on school nights; why would I allow participation in an extracurricular activity during those hours? At least at a job, they're possibly learning a life skill.

Blessings,
Bill

The article says its for one week. They are 2-a-days, so school isn't in session. This is the first time in the last 30 years Ramadan (sp?) has coincided with the start of football practices.

I mean, that if it their religon and they "believe" that they are suppose to follow its structure, then they need to live their lives as such and not look for the world to offer them concessions or backdoors.

Did you read the article? I don't read it as them asking for any concessions or taking any back doors.

Shut the **** up, Donnie.

This isn't 'Nam Smokey, there are rules.

They are supposed to lead their normal lives and fast.
Not rearrange their schedules to make things easier.
The fasting is supposed to make them understand what it is like to suffer or to be poor.
What normally happens is they game the system.
More food is consumed during Ramadan than any other month.
So much for fasting.

How do they even practice then?????

Can't very well toss around the ol' pig skin can you?

I don't know enough about it but the fasting is from dawn to dusk right?

Yes it is.
The gluttony starts after sundown.

Closed for rules compliance. It says "religious-based threads of any nature" (emphasis mine). Even though this is a pretty civil discussion, it still counts.
