Share your disappointment with a decision made by a sports league and express your hope that some players will participate regardless. Also, encourage others to watch the women's hockey championships and advocate for greater support for female athletes.
Crappy decision from a crappy league with crappy owners and a crappy president. I certainly hope there are players who decide to take the year off and participate anyway. And BTW, don't forget to watch the women's hockey championships. They ARE deserving of much more support.
