It’s a business. It’s a job. Do your job.
Family is more important than any job, as such.
Most every job I know of will allow a spouse time off to visit a loved one in the hospital during an emergency situation. Even more so if it’s the wife giving birth. At least this was so in the old days before this ugly thing we have called “abortion” that has so cheapened life.
His job allows for 3 days off for paternity leave. I fail to see how it is anyone's business.
Amen....
When my daughters were born in 65 & 68 I wasn’t really allowed to be anywhere near, I worked and stayed at work, visiting in the evening.
I also advised my ‘young laborers’ later on that when they wanted ‘extra time off’ because their lady was pregnant, my advice was ‘Son, now is the time you want to start chalking up the overtime, not missing work and the pay that goes with it’.
We actually have a ‘LAW’ that mandates 2 weeks for the male?
Guess I am among the ‘uninformed’ but why would someone that works seasonal work (say Baseball announcers) be given ‘vacation or leave or whatever they call it anymore’ in the middle of July?
When I was in the Paving business, NO ONE even dreamed of taking time off in the Summer...and that was in Virginia, where we shut down from mid Nov to Mid March except for ‘emergencies’.
We had ‘paid holidays and paid vacations’. Show up for work on the 4th of July and you will have a paid holiday.
Designate ANY 2, 3 or 4 weeks in the summer as your vacation, and as long as you are at work, you will have your paid vacation.
It’s a business. It’s a job. Do your job.

The player has a contract and he is working within the boundaries of that contract.
It’s a business. It’s a job. Do your job.
And like any other employee of any other job this man is entitled to Family Medical Leave.
As a husband and father he did do his job.....
