(I'm just piggy backing off your comment Ted this isn't directed at you)
And the people cooking and delivering food, cleaning hotel rooms, driving team transport, driving family transport, doing everyone's laundry etc etc
Even if it were possible to create a totally closed loop it would only be possible by violating people's civil liberties.
Do we really want hockey so badly that we are willing to ask players to meet a standard of isolation we aren't willing to meet ourselves?
If a player decides they don't want to play in those circumstances could you blame them? Would the NHL still pay those players? I'm sure nothing in their contracts states they would have to play in such circumstances.
How dare these people put their families health and well being in front of my entertainment. Don't they know how much i pay for cable TV? They should be more than happy to stay in isolation, away from their families and loved ones for a month or two so that I can get my fix of entertainment.
Or at least, that's what i believe the mentality is for "that side".
Also, Troy Deeney gets to do whatever he wants. Nobody is ordering that BMF around.
Nothing wrong with asking. They can say no. If they want to let go of millions from their salary and decrease the cap for future smaller contacts they can. They get paid well but only for a small percentage of their life and for doing something we all do as a hobby bc it’s awesome. I don’t get exposed or expected to be exposed to potential brain causing injury every rep of my job like in football.
And I’m sure they won’t be having their beds turned down every day. Even more you really do need direct contact for transmission.
