the *expletive* final is on at 4pm local time, and 3 am Australia time to accommodate for the Eurocentric audience

Personally I would have preferred a night final so the Australia/ Asian audience can watch it first thing in the morning

but no, the Euro snobs dont want a piece of that thought

But that raises the question; why are the Japan games on at 11am our time?


Japan's population
127.6 million

But, who really needs to get up or stay late at some ungodly hour when I can watch a 2 minutes highlights package on a news website?

Ive been doing that when I watch most sports regardless: AFL, Rugby League, its just too long and boring when theres a smattering of highlights in those 2-3 hours
