Troy Williams

I was surprised to hear this morning on ESPN radio that Troy Williams took a leave of absence from the Minnesota Vikings last weekend to go to his grandmothers funeral. This doesn't sound very earth shattering unless you hear a few more details. One detail was the fact that his grandmother raised him. The second fact was that he had to miss a game. The third fact was he was docked one game worth of pay, $25,000, by team ownership. I cannot believe someone would be so uncaring... They said the decision was based on business principal. Really? What does that mean. I was glad to hear that Troy Williams also said that the team could have docked him the rest of this years paycheck and he still would have went home. What would you do if your boss did this to you?
