I would be in for the Red,White and Blue.....And proud of it.
The answer is easy when you consider the below description of NBA players today:
pri·ma don·na
ˌprēmə ˈdänə/
noun
noun: primadonna
a very temperamental person with an inflated view of their own talent or importance.
synonyms: ego, self-important person, his nibs, temperamental person, princess, diva, pooh-bah; informal drama queen
"a city council filled with prima donnas"
The only thing they got wrong above in describing the word & NBA together perfectly as one was using the word "city" where they should have stated "a sports league filled with prima donnas"

part of the reason is that olympics hockey is in middle of NHL season so it's not like players are wishing they were on an extended vacation... not sure it's a great comparison
the better comparison is that a soccer player, unless they are seriously injured, will never turn down an invite to play in a major tournament which are all held after the regular season for the top players. Ronaldo, Messi, Bale, Rooney don't turn down Euro2016 because they want to bang some tail in Monaco...their nations would disown them
