Entire Jazz Team is in Utah

I really did not like this news. They should still have almost 2 weeks of vacation. And I understand that some players want to start the season early...but all of them? People have families, all kind of things going on and I really, really doubt that every single Jazz players was chomping on the bit to cut their vacation time two weeks short and get to work. Most likely some felt that simply could not say no "because of the implications", and that speaks really bad about the team culture.

Oh, and to all people liking that news: I sincerely wish that you will never end up working at the company where you would be afraid to say "no" to "suggestions" from the management/senior coworkers and will have to lose some of your vacation time or "volunteer" working for free.

It has been like 5 months since these guys last went to work. The days when you could turn up to training camp out of shape are long gone.
 
Working overtime to be negative lmao. If they showed up two weeks later, we’d get a post whining and complaining that they didn’t show up earlier.

Why have you decided to go after me, though? I think we all came here because we want to talk about the Jazz: discussing if a random internet nick is stupid is pretty boring. You could have just said that based on your experience you believe that all 15 Jazz players decided to cut their free time short y because each of them truly wanted to do it and that there was no outside pressure whatsoever. It's an interesting take to me and I would consider it.

Unlike you, I have no experience with pro athletes and their everyday life but I think that free time is valuable for all people. In my experience it was incredibly hard to make sure that 10+ people all show up for some multi-day event or trip even when all of them truly wanted to be there. There was always something preventing some of folks from going: family events, their relationships, health of family members, some other cool things that they would have to miss... I guess it is possible that pro athletes are different and do not have to deal with any of this. I'll think about it.
