Re: Vikings' Troy Williamson Grieves Loss of Grandmother, Gets Denied Paycheck
Any chance the leauge could step in on this? The comish is so strong about improving the appreance of the NFL, IMO the team should be forced to give him that money.
No matter where you work, there's always comp time for this. I'm in the Marines and was on the other side of the world when my grandfather passed away, they had me on a flight in less than 8 hours.

Re: Vikings' Troy Williamson Grieves Loss of Grandmother, Gets Denied Paycheck
"I don't care if they would have [taken] my pay for the rest of the year, I was going home," Williamson told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "It wouldn't have mattered to me."
At least Troy Williamson has his priorities in order. I've never been a fan of the guy, and obviously he has been a huge disappointment, but you've got to be there for your family. If the Vikings feel like they have to recover $25,000 and that will really help their team then more power to them. Newsflash, football isn't life and death, if you have to help plan a funeral, support your family, arrange travel for siblings, and grieve then maybe you can miss a game. I hope they get taken to task by every media outlet...can someone nominate them for Keith Olberman's "Worst Person in the NFL"?

THe league is a bunch of morons who go for this type of crap. Goodell is probably cheering the Vikes on this one. NFL is starting to suck. |
