Longing for a Shot at the Majors, but Sitting Out the Sabbath

[CountValentine]

She is unquestionably not practicing orthodox

I agree

[CountValentine]

Meh. Tons of precedent not to wear a yarmulka while at work or while playing ball. Definitely not a showstopper.

In a few years from now will there be tons of precedent to play sports on the Sabbath?

Lol. Yarmulka is not nearly as strict as shabbos. Not even in the same stratosphere.

[AsherO]

I would worry about you know who's daughter before him. 

Keep that in the politics thread. We’re talking about precedent in sports specifically with regards to Orthodox players playing (or not playing) on Shabbat.

Besides, women in Orthodoxy don’t wear Kippahs, so my quote wouldn’t apply to her in any case.

Was addressing "but self identifies as Orthodox".

Really where in halacha does it say that?

Partial quote, out of context, to take the conversation somewhere else? Why did “you know who” have to come into this discussion?

who said anything about halacha??

Tons of precedent

≠ Tons of halachic precedent

I guess that depends on the planet you live on.

If a guy from the community in Williamsburg shows up to Shul on Shabbos without a Kippah, it’s likely the equivalent (in the community’s perception) to showing up to Shul on Shabbos with a lit cigarette.

Lol that mental image

[YitzyS]

I have solution. Put a wire with posts around the court. You have your crossbeam, posts and less than 600k traffic. Did I get it right?

I've heard of "Rabbi Doctor" before, but I've never heard of "Rabbi Count".

But there's always a first time.

How about if he shows up with a Fedora and a kapota?

If a Rabbi can be a Baron or a Knight Commander of the British Empire, how far off is Rabbi Count?

[AsherO]

Objectionable on other grounds. The layperson in that community would see the Kippah violation as a Halachic thing, whether there’s basis for that or not. You can’t say the same about the fedora/kapota

What is the earliest time of day to exchange jokes with you?

It is JS. 
Change "you know who" to Ivanka.

Maybe it is his learning from one of the influential figures in the rabbinic study?

[AsherO]

Three coffees in, typically by 11am
