I mean just for the ongoing Covid issues alone the players shouldn't be going.

From the politics standpoint, I've said with the Olympics that I would hope that the athletes would lead the way and say "nope, I'm not going". But I really think if that's not going to happen the strongest stance is that Canadians and Brits and US etc shouldn't attend the opening ceremony, which is usually an ode to the greatness of the hosting country.

For me personally, going to china for two weeks to sit in quarantine in a hotel, would be a nope.
