I don't, simply because it doesn't. Just becaue a tradition is one way in one religion, doesn't mean that a religion building on top of that can't adjust the date. If you look up the word, there are three essential definitions. 1. Jewish holy day observed on saturday. 2. Christian holy day observed on sunday. 3. A day of rest. The essential part is the third part. The day is simply a day of rest. The specifics start when you use the term sabbath in context of Jewish or Christian circles.
