The sad thing is that Catholics are echoing their misguided sentiments. They want Mass to be "fun" because they've grown up hearing all about the "table" and "coming to the table" and have no idea that they're present at a SACRIFICE that they are ALSO called to offer!
It kinda makes sense to go to Mass dressed up considering you're meeting God. At his own "funeral".
They need a special Sunday for people to wear their jerseys? Clearly, they've never been to Mass in Pittsburgh or Indianapolis during football season. ;)
My former parish used to have a "sports Mass" a few times a year, and the servers would just wear their jerseys. The focus was definitely more on the "sports" instead of the Mass.
I am Fr. Kyle Schnippel and currently am the Director of Vocations for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. I believe there is a tide of vocations to the priesthood and religious life waiting to happen, and as the faithful continue to grow in their own pursuit of holiness, these vocations will flourish.
For a highlight of posts over the last year or so, check the 'Top Ten' posts, which includes homiles, reflections, and even a version of my own vocation story.

"It is about time we started demanding more than eternal salvation when we walk into church. We want to be comfortable as well."
Wow. Eternal Salvation or comfortable for an hour: you decide.
