There is no Biblical New Testament law saying you must not work on Sunday. The Sabbath starts on Friday at sunset and ends on Saturday at sunset, if you are following Judaic law. Christians are permitted to work 7 days a week, and eat pork, snakes, and other delectables.

Sez you. However, your reading of the sacred testimonies is not normative, and some of those testimonies allow for variability within the fold on matters like “observance of special days”, e.g.,
Romans 14:5-6
5 One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.
It’s no surprise that the sports-cultists disdain those who do not worship at their altar, which is something believers who put their relationship with God ahead of the reward system of the secular/idol worshipping must deal with, even as Eric Lidell discovered as a member of the British Olympic Team at the 1924 Olympics.

Yeah, and another thing:
who are we to presume that God started on Monday and rested on Sunday? Didn’t God start on day one and rest on the seventh? What if he started on a Tuesday? Wouldn’t the day of rest then be a Monday?
