I agree
Nobody should be given special priviledges based on religion
We are equal regardless of religion

I agree about common decency, but that's not generally within the purview of a judge. But it seems to me to be less of a stretch to say that for a state to schedule a game that might involve an Orthodox Jewish school on a Saturday is more of a violation of the First Amendment than the Obama BC plan. In that case it was only supplying the money for someone else's BC, in this case, it would actually force individual students to do something that is forbidden to them. That's a state interfering with the free exercise of religion, no?

Not possible
too many gods.
So lets just keep our society as selfish as possible. Nobody can please everybody

NFL games can also be played on a Xmas if Xmas falls on Sunday. Sunday is typically the day for football fun.

Wrong, NBA basketball games are played on Xmas day. You can usually find four or five on tv on Xmas day.

Religious twits have become increasingle aggressive
They have business contacts, money = power
They are not kind to those who do not let them have their way

Jewish kids also have no objection to playing basketball

Not the same. Christians have no objection to playing basketball on sundays.

There's games on Sunday's- Christian sabbath.

Not really - did they have games on christmas - not! I'm still annoyed there r games on mother's day.

Just staying true to my no religion in public affairs. Obvi you've jumped ship

I was outraged that they wouldn't reschedule it. Relieved that they did. Big fricken deal - just change the day of a game.

Is anyone else outraged that they rescheduled a basketball game because a Jewish team refused to play on a Saturday. I smell a need for ACLU and establishment cause lawsuit!
