Is it an unpopular opinion that BYU should drop the "no Sunday play"?

Or keep the HCO as purely advocacy for students with rogue Bishop’s.

Yes, completely contradictory to the Church's direction over the last 10 years.

The last 10 years they've been lightening up on old school orthodox traditions

Sabbath isn’t really a tradition.

How much would really change? The vast majority of college football teams...

It is a bigger issue for sports other than football.

Let me guess, you want players to sell drugs between games too?

It’s disappointing that a lot of CBers care more about football than the fourth commandment.

No offense but, no, it's not. Sunday is a day of rest and worship, not football.

No offense but that’s your interpretation. Making my point.

It's a meaningless opinion. Not sure how popular/unpopular it is.
