Quote:I mean I get not liking it but same goes for my job. My boss tells me which holidays I can have off and which I can't. I can not like it all I want but that's policy. If I want to choose what days I work and what days I don't, then I'd need to find a different line of work.


Edit: also after combing through the article, it doesn't even mention holidays. Unless you are referring to the whole offseason as holiday, more akin to vacation, but that would likely come down to the language of individual contracts and that is out of my realm of knowledge.

Suppose its hard to compare it to a normal job. As far as I know they have a set amount of days in the offseason where a team can tell them that they have to be at the facilities but outside of that its completely up to the player whether they choose to go to team facilities or not, so they can tell the injured guys that they would encourage them to rehab here but they can't actually mandate it. Or it could be perfectly fine but the players just don't like it.
