Daylight Savings time: One big business reason we still have it.

I was doing some research about Daylight Savings Time, and nowadays it is not about saving electricity at all. The leisure sports lobby really likes Daylight Savings time, because after the winter of no evening daylight, when we change the clock, there is more daylight after work and people tend to go do outdoor sports such as tennis, golf, swimming, basketball etc right after work and then go home. When there is not enough daylight from the sun, people go straight home.
What do you think? Do you play sports in the spring time before going home after work?

I agree with you, I was just offering one explanation of why we still do this silly custom, to give the sports industry a lift.

@lifecoachjerusalem - The Swiss population voted to abolish daylight saving time, well it's the only popular vote that has not been respected.

@LadyDuck I think that it is better to live in only one time and not change it twice a year. I hope that more countries do the same thing!

I don't like having to change the clocks. I hope next year we don't have to.

We need to petition to the government to stop this silly custom, it doesn't save anything! Why give the sports a boost? They will make as much money even if we don't change the clocks!

Do you like to change the clocks twice a year? I don't. It messes up my internal clock and I get hungry at the "wrong time."
