Would you want your team's best player to risk being injured for 5 meaningless games after a 4 month gap in the season and then miss the entire next year with a shortened offseason?

This is extraordinary circumstances that isn't the same as the typical end of season meaningless games.

Are the players really that fragile? If a guy is going to get hurt, he is going to get hurt. He can get hurt at home, at the club or at the beach. You can't protect them forever. If they are healthy, they should play. I have never been for resting or sitting stars, unless it is to punish them and to take money away.

I don't know how this mindset won out. Guys used to be admired for playing every game and as many minutes as they could. They would tough out bumps, bruises and injuries. Now they get to sit for no reason. I just don't get why it is a good thing..
