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

Vikings changed their minds and are giving Williamson his paycheck. Williamson said he will donate it to charity in honor of his grandmother.

I'll give Childress some credit here. He met with some veterans on the team, who I assume told him he [censored] up. He admitted he was wrong, saying, "I think the important thing is everybody grieves differently. That's the thing that I learned, or we learned, in this. In the end, it's not important to be right, but to get it right."

is it proper internet forum protocol to let people know it was a level? or is it better to let everyone go, "OMG HE CAN'T BE SERIOUS WTF?!?!?"

The Vikings admitted they f'd up and are paying Williamson his money. Williamson in turn is donating that money to charity for his grandmother. Wow.

He is a fringe NFL player at this point, testing your team's patience is incredibly stupid. He won the battle, not the war.
