I'm not religious, however I do not consider it suitable to be playing sport on Good Friday.
My only reason is to respect the feelings of the many christians within our society, after all, we don't want OZ to become a muslim state do we!!!!

you better get used to it mate
its gonna happen like it or not
(ignorance and assumptions get tiresome)
on the other hand Sbagman well said mate.
2. Yeah, I guess I read As' response in the worst possible light, and sorry if I went over the top As. But yes, as it reads, it IS a racist comment. I think summing up the muslim religion like that, while understandable considering media portrayal of it in Australia, is pretty shallow. I know if I was muslim I wouldn't have particularly liked that comment.
dont reduce everything to money and sport
leave some things to be sacred
surely 1 day of no sport wont kill you
respect that some players want to spend easter wtih thier family, and stop thinking only of yoursefl
