The eastern time zone spoils you. Everything the media does is geared to the eastern time zone. Prime time TV, starting of sporting events, and the nightly news come to mind. This is the odd relationship or the rationalization that we deserve these things because we live on the east coast.
This is what is so odd about the World Cup, they could care less about us in the Eastern time zone. The games start at 7:30am, 10am and 2:30pm. That does nothing for me! Don't they know that is the middle of my work day? Don't they understand that my bosses don't like me watching the live online feed from cbc.ca? Don't they care that I will need to use all my sick days for the entire year during a four week span? I guess not...
As I mentioned, the eastern time zone is spoiled and I don't know how to get over it. Guess it will be only a little better in Brazil 2014. Oh well...
