The Vikings got it right. They have given WR Troy Williamson his paycheck, and in return he is donating the whole check to charity in honor of his grandmother. Childress admited being wrong without really saying he was wrong. He said its not about being right but getting it right. That to me sounds like someone felt guilty.

In the NFL there has been many players that have been fined for good reason and for stupid reasons but this takes the cake. Vikings Troy Williamson was docked 25 grand from his pay to attend his grandmother funeral. This man took time out for his family at a time of need. He didnt skip practices and a game to go have fun. He went to bury a women who taught him what he knows in life as he was very close to her.

 See even Emily is shocked

 

Why would you dock a mans pay for a game when he has a legitimate reason as to why he didnt go. He said that his family comes first and he would throw football away to take care of his family. He is truely a classy guy who believes in family. I dont blame him for leaving the team to handle this personal matter. He paid for the funeral and paid travel expenses for those in his family who couldnt afford it.

The Vikings should be ashamed of themselves and I hope Roger steps in and tells the Vikings where they can stuff that 25 grand. Good Lord have some sympothy for the man his grandmother just passed away. God forbid if someone in the coaching staff or the owners family passes away. Does this mean that if someone from the coaching staffs family passes away they have to pony up some money? And what about the owner what happens to him if someone in his family dies?
