We all make mistakes. But some people could start to get less empathetic when the mistake-maker doesn’t feel like apologizing. That seems to be the case for New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress.
Burress was suspended for one NFL game, after he missed a team meeting without letting anyone know about the reasons of his absence. Not making that phone call costed him to watch the defeat against the Seattle Seahawks from the bench.
Some seem upset because he didn’t apologize about the suspension. In fact, Plaxico said he doesn’t regret his decision at all. Some say his big “emergency” to skip the meeting was “having to take his son to school”. He says he just put his family first (which is fine). But how can you just not go to a meeting and not even call first when you belong to the NFL Champions team? Wow, that’s really not caring for your job.
Plaxico Burress said nobody really knew the situation he faced, but refused to give further details. The point is that he’s back now, and doesn’t seem very sorry for the punishment he received. The lack of discipline in our current players is easy to notice. Let’s hope not all of them have that little interest in being responsible.
