I hate the time zone differences, can we split the difference already? (1 Viewer)

maybe i am used to the east coast, but baseball games at 9.30a? football at 10a? it doesnt feel or seem right. so many other annoying things. can this country just split the 3 hours and call it a day?

ET goes from 12p to 10.30a and PT goes from 9.00a to 10.30a? wa la!

East coaster here but CT would be nice

I love football at 10AM. Get up, have coffee, shower, check my fantasy lineups, and then chill on the couch or go to a bar for some bloody Mary's. Plus the night game ends at a decent hour.

CT is OK, get some things a little late and some things a little early, but nothing is too bad.

No thank you, it'd be dark at 3:00pm in winter here.

Hawaii is the best. Games at 8 am. Actually can watch football and enjoy your day.

I love NFL football with my breakfast, then carrying on all day long, ending around 8:30pm with plenty of time left to putter around before having to go to bed.

That said, a recent proposal I saw that almost made too much sense: Combine Eastern and Central Time on CT, then combine Pacific and Mountain on MT. End up with 2 time zones, 1 hour apart.

We should adjust our thinking altogether. Eliminate time zones and go to a universal clock.

I've been pitching this for years.

I've never understood why this is not the standard.
