I wanted to make this a poll but couldn't figure out how to do it!
Do people think that the swimming finals should be moved ot the mornig so that they will be on during the evening prime time here inthe States? Many different swimming sites from other countries think that it is a lot of us in hteStates blowing & whinning.
Is the change necessary? Of course not. Is it a big deal? No.
Major sporting events are always scheduled for maximum revenue. Day games in baseball and football used to be the norm, now night games are commonplace. Swimming will be the same story. The competitors will adjust to when they have to swim and swim fast regardless of the time of day.
I can see why other countries would be upset that the Olympics are catering to US television. The bottom line is money talks and everyone knows this.
