Can you complain about starting times without sounding like a crank? I nearly fell asleep during Game 5 Sunday night. (There was an involuntary catnap somewhere after midnight too). SB NATION'S CHARLOTTE WILDER did, then wrote about the tragedy of missing the big game. FOMO is real for sports fans. Sleeping through the game everyone is talking about the next day is crushing. But is it our fault? The WORLD SERIES has started after 8 pm ET each night. It's not unexpected for the games to stretch towards and past midnight. Not with bullpenning and the home run barrage. NBA FINALS regularly start later. Setting a start time isn't easy. There are lots of considerations involved. Can't ignore an entire coast -- especially the one where one of the teams is located -- and play while they're working. Ratings are important -- not for fans -- and a prime consideration. But if the SUPER BOWL can start before 7 on a Sunday night, why can't everything else? This isn't pining for the never-coming-back day game in the World Series. It's not asking commissioner ROB MANFRED to think about the next generation of fans. It's asking for a sensible solution. Would 7:30 pm ET be a workable compromise? West coast fans miss an inning or two to start, East coast fans forced to forego a little less sleep. Not everyone has the luxury of blowing by bedtime and sleepwalking through work the next morning. It's not too late to change... It can't be easy to speak publicly about something so deeply personal. Not in the age of TWITTER trolls and an unnerving spotlight. WNBA star BREANNA STEWART did it anyway. She lent her voice and story to the #MeToo campaign, detailing how she was sexually molested as a child. It's heartbreaking to read and her trauma seeps through the page. Stewart is brave to share. Take a minute and read... How will football be played in 20 years? Will eSports be mainstream? How will we watch the NHL? Will unicorns roam the NBA? The future is coming sooner than you think. SportsSET: "The Future of Sports"... Why the game sounds so good on TV...
