You got it all wrong...its not that they're 'not as good' (though they aren't) but more importantly they are players that nobody really cares about.
If they're stuck in China for a few months getting grievously ill or being mistreated by a Foreign Nation thats okay...the rest of us cant get along with lives uninterrupted.
I'm sure they'll be compensated, perhaps not with money, but perhaps with medals and national pride. Maybe they'll even get to meet Trudeau in Ottawa and he'll shake their hands and maybe give them COVID...again.
They're taking one for the team!
In a War do you immediately send your best soldiers right to the front? No! You throw some expendable bodies out there first to soften the enemy up!
