It doesn't affect their profits. That's the problem the owners have. They are unhappy that they have to send their players overseas and shut down their business for 2 weeks for zero benefit, while creating the possibility that their star players may get injured during the Olympics (which would then directly affect their profits if their team misses the playoffs due to the injury).
If the owners were handsomely compensated for sending their players, we wouldn't be having this conversation since they would happily send their players in a heartbeat.
