When you say no other sport, which are you referring to? Football is not in the Olympics. Baseball hasn’t been regularly. Soccer is U23 and all major leagues allow their players to play for their national team throughout the year don’t they?
So the NBA doesn’t have to close, this is true.
But this sacrifice isn’t what it’s made out to be IMO. The Southern markets have sports throughout the year, particularly basketball in February so I don’t see their unique concern. Not picking on you, just voicing my personal frustration for what I see as the NHL’s shortsightedness.
