This is what's wrong with sports nowadays

[EveryGamblersDream]

It is 8:45 & the first pitch has yet to be thrown. This is exactly what is wrong with sports nowadays. It is clear that greed overrules common sense. The game is being played on the east coast, & at this rate won't go off until near or past midnight. There is no legitimate reason why this game could not start at 7:00pm. So sick of this bullshit....

So glad I will have more fun & make more coin watching the WNBA on ESPN2.

I'm sure people on the West Coast appreciate it. Boo-hoo. = (

god those pregame introductions were brutal. i smoked a cig, took a sh*t , took the garbage out, and that crap was still on!

It should start at 8 to accommodate all time zones. If you want to go to sleep before the finish that is your choice, but people that are interested will stay up.

The intro shit was way too long, but I have no problem with what time the game is starting at.

 

[EveryGamblersDream]

Screw accommodating all time zones. Most of the viewers will be on the east coast so those viewers should be catered to first. If the game was on the west coast, I would say the same for them.

If west coast teams can play teams on the east with 7:05 - 7:15 start times, a glorified exhibition game should be no exception.

It is bullshit that it took almost an hour for the 1st pitch.

west coast people are used to watching games at 4pm they dont really work out there anyway

 

[krk1030]

Not as bad as Monday Night Football starting at like 9:30 and takes 4 hours.

The thing I like most about basketball is you can figure a 9pm game will be over by 12 95% of the time.

What is wrong with sports is the money that is being thrown at players. When sports became big business,it all went downhill.
