Hey bills gotta be paid shifty ass NFL don't even have medical for the players from what I understand....
I hope they pull through and have a healthy child when the time is right for them....
At least the wife is OK sometimes a birth could take out the mother and child
prayers out to the brother and his wife. may take some time for the wife to get over . hopefully they can have a kid and have a family
Everyone's got bills to pay but if a child dies the vast majority of American society will take a day off.
Damn, the news media was on the "kneeling" phenom but are mute on discussing how this man is forced to play ball after this level of tragedy in his personal life?
Wow
They have a terrible union.
It's rather common for athletes to play after a loss of life in the family. It's generally part of their grieving process.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin credited his wife for giving him the emotional strength to play in Sunday's game against the New York Giants just hours after the birth of his still-born son.
Speaking to NFL Network's Andrew Siciliano on Up to the Minute Live, Goodwin discussed the mix of emotions he experienced during the game and the strength his wife, Morgan, showed following the tragedy.
"It was definitely her decision for me to go," Goodwin said Wednesday. "I gave her the option: Did she want me to go to the game or stay at the hospital with her? And she insisted that I go and play with my team and get a victory. So it was very selfless of her to allow me go and do something like that.
"... Her insisting that I go and do something else instead of being by her side at a time when she needed me most, [it] speaks volumes about her character. A lot less about me and more about her. Her resiliency and her willingness to be so selfless and allow me to go and do my job -- words really can't explain."
Goodwin scored on an 83-yard touchdown pass during the 49ers' 31-21 victory -- the team's first win of the season -- and said the touchdown helped him realize how much he had to be thankful for, even in the wake of such a devastating personal loss.
"When I was on my knees, I was just thanking God for the opportunity, thanking him for allowing me to showcase my sentiments on the situation," said Goodwin, who blew a kiss to the sky and fell to his knees after the touchdown. "Being able to show that even through tough situations you can still make it through with your faith and prayer, and giving God his due glory regardless of the circumstances you're in."
Goodwin, who said he didn't tell his teammates of his son's death until after the game, thanked the 49ers for helping him and his family get through the loss of his son. He said their support over the last few days has helped him tremendously.
"Just having a great support system with my teammates, my coaches, my organization -- from ownership all the way down -- it speaks volumes about this organization," Goodwin said. "It's more than just football. This is a family, win, lose or draw.
"You never think that situations like these will happen to you. This is something that I wanted, that my wife has wanted, since we've been together, since we got married. To have that taken away, it was a very emotional situation, something that we've never dealt with, we didn't know how to handle at the time. So it's something we take day by day. But our faith in God has helped alleviate a lot of that stress and pressure that we felt that day."

He couldve sat out
thinking the same thing. One of Bret Farve's best games was against the raiders the day or couple of days after his father died.
Yeah well if he was forced to play that is on a whole new level of inhumane shit...
I'm thinking he may have wanted to to take his mind off the tragedy.....
But your scenario is the most likely one
Interesting......
Agreed. Many times the best remedy of grieving is to carry on living as usual. Helps the mind and soul heal.
What a response. Their loved ones are their coworkers? Sounds like they need a better union.
I didn't know his wife won a gold medal
Union or no Union my ass would have took a day off
Some people, performers/athletes in particular, work through their pain by doing what they do. It sounds crazy to explain it that, but it's true. Heck, I've done it before. I can't explain the why of it, but it's more that things would be more traumatic if you back out of a commitment.
And very often, it's not about the people on your team or cast. They completely understand, and will be the first ones to tell you to take it easy. But they also have your back if you show up.

On top of that his wife is an Olympic level athlete. Sports and competition run through both their veins. She told him to go play.
He scored a touchdown for his son
