Yes, no one person forced him. But career pressure and fomo did. And I don't think that sets exactly a good precedent.

I’d give my finger to be in the olympics. Already lost a finger in an accident and doesn’t change much 🤷

Hockey players are another breed. Not agreeing with his decision but also not that surprised.

Also, "sets exactly a good precedent"? I don't see why this man should be expected to make personal/medical decisions based on "setting a good precedent".
