Last year or the year before Hawks fans got super into this as an argument for external unfairness that explained why their team didn't go 16-0 ever year.
They even ran analyses, which upon cursory inspection were all goosed up and data hacked in order to reach their desired conclusion that it was the external unfairness of start times that caused the Seahawks to lose sometimes.
I remember finding it all annoying enough to spend an hour or so peeking into the (scant) peer-reviewed research on this stuff, and my takeaway was that it doesn't matter, and if it does matter, it doesn't really matter in any meaningful way.
Overall my sense on this is that fans that are really into the 10am start time thing are the more reasonable wing of fans who insist that the refs are week-in-and-week-out missing calls that only hurt their favorite team (the middleground of this type of fan), and fans who insist that the NFL is rigged against their favorite team (the fringes of this type of fan --- every fanbase has all three of these).
As for the NFL limiting 10AM EST start times to three per year for West Coast teams, yeah, sure, whatever. The league doesn't want to do it because it creates scheduling problems, but if players and teams want it for whatever reason, it's not like there's a good reason for us as fans to be opposed to it.

I never understood why a professional athlete would play any different at 10AM as opposed to 1PM.
