Vikings' Troy Williamson Grieves Loss of Grandmother, Gets Denied Paycheck

[BDBohnzie]

Most companies have a bereavement policy that allows for a specific amount of time off with pay to take care of such things. You'd think the NFLPA would have something in place for such occasions...if they don't, I bet they do for the next CBA.

It's one thing if it's his mother's aunt who he met twice in his life, and hasn't seen in years. This was the woman who helped raise him, and considering he had to make the arrangements, something we're not sure Williams or Wayne had to do, it's pretty shitty to dock him a week's worth of pay, no matter how well he's doing this year. If you have an issue with his performance, cut him.

And, what's the deal with citing Reggie Wayne? He doesn't play for the Vikings, and has no relevance to the situation. That's complete BS right there. I hope the NFLPA files a grievance on Williamson's behalf, and that this is overturned.
