You don't play you don't get payed. I am sure some vets can afford to do that and I am sure some young players would jump at a chance to showcase themselves in those 10 or so games remaining. The only players complaining about this are teams that are not going to the playoffs. I would bet everything all players who look like they have a shot at the playoffs want to play. Still, it irks me that some of these guys are entitled brats. You get paid ridiculous money to play a game, you can step up for 10-12 games to give sports fans an escape from a harsh reality right now.

Not wanting to be away from your family during a global pandemic doesn't make you a spoiled brat.
