re: Regardless of your opinion on the issue you gotta respect these guys for following through

What exactly did they sacrifice?

At a minimum they were willing to sacrifice the game. When they decided not to play they were willing to forfeit. Again, they may face no consequences, but they were willing to. The whole rest of the playoffs may not happen, that's a pretty big consequence for these guys.

Or maybe they will just resume playing tomorrow, but it doesn't change the fact that they were willing to, at a minimum, forfeit a playoff game, and at a maximum, lose the rest of the playoffs(of which they are one the favorites to win), and possibly millions of dollars
