Hmm, how long have you worked there. Have you had any complaints about your work? What is your absense history? What do you think your manager was thinking. Maybe it was the type of excuse you gave i.e. a football game versus a more serious issue.
I would potentially ask the manager that you realize (apologies) that you should have given her notice about your scheduling needs and are so sorry but is there anything you can do.
Also clarify with your manager what their expectations are regarding your current work ability in their mind and also clarify in future timing to notify re scchedule changes.
Keep communiccation open and be sure to think in their shoes too. You also never know what else is going on in that manager's life (personal or business).

Do you really enjoy your job or can you find work elsewhere within two weeks?
Do you have enough savings to quit? I'm sure you have bills to pay.
I would recommend you start looking for employment elsewhere while you continue working at your current job so you have an income coming in consistently.
-Why don't you compromise with your manager and ask to work half your shift or find someone willing to work for you and tell your manager that you found a replacement. That would pressure your manager to have to let you go to the football game.
-If your manager says no then ask why can't your replacement work for you.

You say normally they find someone to fill in, is this a frequent thing for you? If so, she might be irritated because a football game is trivial. Most people that request time off do it for important reasons, sick child, death in the family, etc.
You have to ask yourself if you are the Type of employee you would want to manage. It is a pain to have to find someone to fill in for someone else every time someone wants off for any reason. If the person you find has already done their 40 hours, you have to pay them overtime and sometimes you have to switch a couple of people around just to fill the spot. Taking time off affects more than one person.

I am not sure if you turned your request in on time- for scheduling- or not.
If you didn't - then you should let it go and show up to work.
If you did- I think you should ask your manager whats going on. Not knowing what kind of work your in- I'm not sure how easy replacing someone is. You also didn't really explain how she was rude.
Th BEST rule is tho.... if you feel uncomfortable with something going on at work- it's always in your best interest to flush it out right away. If your anxious or unmotivated- you won't do your best work. If they look at you as not a team player- it won't reflect well on you. Best to work things out quickly.

You either go to work or call in and take a hit on your attendance.

You must decide which is more important to you, The freedom to do as you please or the ability to cash a paycheck.
