Re: Troy Williamson docked paycheck to attend grandmother\'s funeral

If I owned the vikings, I wouldn't have such a policy.
However, if I was an outsider asked to evaluate the situation, I see it a little differently. If this was an established team policy (preferably written down somewhere) and there were no exceptions made in the past, then I woudn't think that Williamson was treated unfairly. He just found himself in an unfortunate situation.
So, if I was in charge of deciding his appeal, and my asumptions are true (established policy, no prior exceptions), then I would regretfully deny his appeal.

Bout covers it. Dumb policy, but it is policy. Really an all-around bad spot to be in.
