Sandy Kofax never pitched on Saturday, including the first game of the World Series. His stand was rightly viewed as righteous by virtually everbody. Sure, the rules are different for businesses than for public institutions like schools, but I for one, can't figure out people who join organizations or activities, knowing what the rules are, then go to court to get the rules changed. It's like buying a house under the flight path near an airport, then suing because the planes are so loud.
I think you make some good points, CYO, and I really like your tag line, which makes me respect your thinking. I'm not saying that I agree with what these people did, just that I don't think they should be brushed off. Our constitutional rights are supposed to give us freedom from discrimination based on religion, as well as race, gender and so on. In this case, is there discrimination? I'm not sure there's a legal case, but it does bear serious examination.
