It’s been proven time and time again that sports leagues prioritize profits of over just about anything else. Fans need to wisen up to the tricks and stop feeding the frenzy. This video demostrates why resting players is important (duh) and how it can ultimately benefit the team. Can’t recommend this video highly enough.
