Would you be Okay as a Fan, Let your Teams Player's play in the Olympics?

Question

I would be happy if they had a chance, but i rather them be dedicated to the Regular Season'

Answer 1

Are you asking me as a fan or as a team's general manager?

As a fan, I'd love it. The chance to see your team's best player play on a global stage is a great thing.

As a GM, I'd have to say I'd be against it. If we're trying to win a championship or even make the playoffs, I wouldn't want my biggest star(s) missing time when we need him/them most and potentially risking injury.  

Answer 2

Absolutely, I would be okay with it, but not if I was an owner, GM, teammate, etc.  I just understand that no contract would ever allow a player to leave during the season to play internationally. It's just not feasible or logical.

But I love seeing players enjoy things like the WBC.

Answer 3

No. I love the Olympics. I love what the Olympics represent. Playing in the Olympics is a huge honor.

But I don't want my guys being taken away from the regular season. I don't want them to get injured or over-exert themselves.

Answer 4

Um arent you concerned about injuries??? george pulled a fit when the last world baseball classic came around and he didnt want his players to play in it.

Answer 5

It would be fun, but then they would have to lengthen the regular season and it would go into mid-November so it is probably not feasible. It would be fun to watch all the stars in the Olympics though.

Answer 6

Yes you need to bring your country pride,honor,and dignity.

Answer 7

Hey they are getting payed enough. The least they can do is fulfill their duties. I say Free Agents should be allowed to play but not the ones who are on contract.

Ya veo q no te fuistes, lo vas a dejar para el viernes?

Answer 8

I definitely would! I would be proud of them. Especially if they brought home a medal!

Answer 9

No. I know this isn't to the same status of the Olympics, but MLB players have the WBC if they want to play for their country.

If they let players play in the olympics, they would have to stop the season for a month, and continue the season into November. It would be weird seeing the World Series on Thanksgiving Day.  

Answer 10

Not at all. I know this will probably get people annoyed but i think using Professional Teams is a very unfair advantage & that should eliminated from the Olympics. Having the NBA Players playing in the Olympics is a joke & shouldn't be allowed.  It should be back to the way it was which was using the College Players.
