A cash grab is an as "bad" and "unethical". The league does not see risking their product to send players to the Olympics for free as a sound business policy. It's not. So they're trying to create their own tournament. You can debate whether there's merit to the idea, but to suggest it's somehow immoral is the same reason you see me get irritated in other threads.
"they want profit? They're bad people". It's annoying

Well I responded to this idea but unfortunately there's two separate threads going with this debate right now.
The bolded is basically all anyone is mad at. People are throwing out the money grab thing because
this is what they came up with to replace the Olympics, which brings entire countries together and creates life long memories.
