All pro sports are asking similar questions because they don't want their games and seasons interrupted. It's not an opinion to be dismissed out right sure but it is entirely self serving. For me it's not a question of should professional athletes not be tested, the question is should the rest of the population be tested more?
My s/o is tested multiple times a week, she tested positive (rapid test)back in September, asymptomatic, followed up with an official PCR test with AHS. It sucked, she got incredibly mild symptoms two days later and they passed. It sucked, it was annoying for a little while because she felt fine, it interrupted our lives but it stopped her spreading it to lord knows how many people, perhaps to people who wouldn't of felt just a little sicky.
So yeah it sucks, it would be fun to watch some hockey games now, and no one wants their lives to stop but for those in hockey circles that just want stop being tested? No sorry, no, pretending you're not infecting others doesn't make it go away. Suck it up big boys.
