The problem is that for basketball in the summer is fun with nba players but you don't have to stop the league (Like you would have for baseball) and it is not the main attraction. And if that will stop, i dont believe the damage will be severe. Winter however was more dependant on NHL since its really the only main stream team sport. So the IOC had to pay up. However i dont know how from here we go back to NHL participating. My feeling is that Beijing will also not have NHL players. Maybe next North American winter games if calgary gets 2026 or USA 2030 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
