He has the right to do what is best for himself and his family. Agreed if this were a bigger bowl he should play, and I do believe he would if that were the case.
LMAO at the paid employee he should show up comments. Assuming those who are saying that don’t actually employ people. I’m lucky if my employees show up on time and work for an actual week straight. Even still, paid employees have a right to miss work in certain cases, most of which aren’t nearly as important as the decision WL had to make.
