There are no players who turned down the offer who are in a contract year.
Professional athletes play pretty much year round these days anyway, and the intensity levels are way down on international play.
Granted, the host countryis China this year, so it's not like other years when you can tell your girlfriend or wife that 6 week vacation is in Greece or Australia.
I would actually get behind a player saying that for political or ethical reasons they will not play in China, but that doesn't seem to be what's happening here.
It just makes me into a fair weather fan, but that's alright too.
