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.
What time finals are contested just seems like such a gnat's ass concern to the sport overall. I still think the main thing people are upset about is the fact a TV network more or less gets to dictate the schedule. But they've been doing this all along for the major sports. Day games are moved to night and vice versa all the time to fit better into TV schedules and no one seems to get too upset about that. If the swimming community can't deal with something as trivial as this maybe we don't even deserve to be on TV.
