Anyone that has been cut from a team or fired from a job knows that it hurts...however, if the team/job I got cut from GROSSLY OVERPAID ME for what I produced...I would have to think twice before getting bitter about things.
I'd say in the grande scheme of things...D Will was treated very well, and because of this, he is set for life.
Also, I have had family members pass, and not once in any job I have had, has a higher up attended the funeral. I can only think of one funeral I have been to PERIOD where the boss of the closest affected showed up.
Maybe that is just me, but this is very childish of him. Perhaps if he broke more than 2-3 tackles per year, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
