The Minnesota Vikings Hate Grandmothers!

Driving to work this morning I heard a story on the radio. Surely, I thought, they must have misreported. No one is this low, this insensitive, this DUMB. After searching the internet I came to find out it was true.

Troy Williamson of the Minnesota Vikings was fined one game’s salary. Good! He was doing drugs, right? Surely he was in cahoots with Michael Vick and fighting dogs! He must have had another Viking’s Boat Tour with hookers and all, correct?

Nope! He missed their game versus the San Diego Chargers to attend his Grandmother’s funeral! A Funeral for Christ’s sake! And not a 3rd cousin twice removed. The man’s Grandmother! Williamson was too busy making travel arrangements for his family and burying his grandmother to come the game. It isn’t even as if he just didn’t show. He TOLD them he was going to miss the game. This, my friends, is a PR nightmare for the Vikings. My 12 year old niece fresh from recess could do a better job making decisions for the Vikings than the moron who allowed this one to happen.

Williamson makes about 450K a year so this fine was a measly $25,588. WOW! That is close to my base salary a YEAR. This almost makes me glad my grandparents have all moved on to better places so that Vikings don’t try to garnish my wages! The Vikings coach had the nerve to comment on this and say something along the lines of “we are a business.” Hey Brad Childress, you’re an idiot. About 95% of “companies” in America offer their employees bereavement time off (I have included a link the definition for your dumb ass). Way to stick your stupid foot in your mouth and make yourself look even more heartless. You and your PR rep should have mulled over that response a little while longer.

Sad thing is.. I was becoming a Vikings fan since Adrian Peterson was drafted by these fine examples of humanity. AD… Pray for free agency.. SOON! Then run your ass outta town!

Hide your grandparents folks, the Vikings are coming!
