Players are scattered
Since it’s the offseason players are all over the country. Some of them are on vacation. Maybe a few of them are taking some time to disconnect. This problem actually leads to a lot of the other challenges that will follow.
The last lockout happened from March 12 until June 25 in 2011. That means players could vote on the deal because they were expected to be at work. Everyone was kind of close. This is the peak of the offseason. Players simply aren’t around. They can’t vote by paper. There has to be an electronic method of voting.
