It’s morning in America, but it’s already Friday in Korea.
I’m an unabashed Olympic fan. I particularly love the smaller scale of the Winter Games, as well as the fact that nearly every sport is designed to kill the participants. About the only sport that isn’t putting everyone at the risk of serious injury is the one that will be on your TV the most, figure skating.
But let’s not kid ourselves, this one is a tough sell. South Korea is FIFTEEN hours ahead of US Central Time. Like all NHL fans, I despise Commissioner Gary Bettman with all of my heart, but he does make a valid point by refusing to send NHL players to the Olympics to play in the middle of the night back home, when only diehard fans would watch.
