I was going to title this "First world problems" but that's not accurate.
While people are seriously concerned about kids not being able to play sports in the dark, countries much further North of the equator deal with this issue. Hell, kids in Sub-Arctic Canada practically live in the dark most of the school year and they manage just fine. They often use such magical solutions as lights and practicing indoors.
Given the whole DST thing was meant to help farmers way back when, and tractors have more lights than a UFO these days, we should just abolish the whole stupid thing and deal with it.
