Todd Williamson of the Minnesota Vikings took off extra time to attend the funeral of his maternal grandmother. In doing so, he got docked his game check by head coach Brad Childress.
After meeting with veteran team members, coach Childress had a change of heart saying: "I think the important thing is everybody grieves differently," Childress said. "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."
Todd has said that he will donate the entire check to charity in honor of his grandmother. He also thanked everyone for their support during his trying time. I'm glad he was able to grieve and move on. I'm also glad the coach did the right thing.
