from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
How would you feel about that if you don’t know if it’s safe to resume a semblance of normal life, if you cannot get a test, but this subsection of professional athletes has been given priority? Would you be so thankful for the resumption of hockey that you would accept this scenario as the price of entertainment and business darn near as usual in this society?
Or would you resent it? Put aside the fact that the players would presumably be segregated from their families for up to a couple of months, which does seem to be more than a bit of a hardship. Is there a chance that special privileges granted to elite athletes would form a backlash against the league? What if your business hasn’t reopened or is not fully operational?
You’re still social distancing (if not still inside), but the 2019-20 NHL season is churning toward the finish line with hockey players sitting side-by-side on the bench and slamming each other into the boards and breathing on each other and spitting onto the ice.
What if travel restrictions still in effect were suspended so that players out of the country were permitted to fly back to the United States in order to play. What if you can’t visit your mother, but players can come home?
How would you feel?
