The difference is that major league athletes are notable in their own right and actually have their own Wikipedia articles to link to, while local businesses and churches aren't generally notable and don't have articles. It's not acceptable to link offsite to a company's or organization's or church's own web page in lieu of a Wikipedia article, either — if they're not notable enough to have an article on here, then they're not notable enough to be listed at all.

Schools, on the other hand, can be dealt with in an "Education" subsection, where they can be written about in full sentences, but there's not a lot of value in just listing them in bulleted-list format — and we don't need or want their mailing addresses, because we're not the phone book.
