I haven't heard too much about this issue in the States. So many sports have night games though, that's probably why.

Playing an important football match or even just training whilst fasting during Ramadan is a very bad idea. The solution is simple like you said, and it would be better if less people interfered.

Ramadhan and football.
Thank you for your interesting post.

We have quite a big Muslim community in Denmark. Many ethnic Danes could not care less about religion and they find it difficult to understand why anybody would fast for a whole month. They get hot under the collar about Muslim colleagues not pulling their weight etc. Before retiring I had Muslim colleagues and I never experienced that they slacked during Ramadhan.

 As far as football's concerned it is not an issue here.
