In a sense, they're already making religious accomodation for the majority.

And a large majority of the people belly-aching about that possible change would not be doing so out of religious principles, but out of "that's the way it's always been ,why are you changing it" principles...
As others have said, make the accomodations if it isn't a hardship on others, but don't trample on someone else in order to serve the athletes at Portland Adventist or Portland Episcopal or Central Catholic or Damascus Christian or etc., etc...can I see moving the State Championship game from 8:00 Saturday until 5:00 and then playing the possible Portland Adventist consolation game at 8:00?? Sure...but telling a team we will postpone Saturday's Championship game until Sunday or Monday to accomodate Portland Adventist, thus causing the other team to have to spend more nights in a hotel and spend more $$$ - no way. That's not right...
