I dont understand what is so bad about this.
He was allowed to not play in the game.
He is paid to play in games. Why would you pay him to not play?
Maybe I am missing something, but I do not understand how an employer who grants an employee permission to leave their job is wrong to not pay them for the work they didn't do.
You mean like how the Dolphins handled a similar situation involving Culpepper earlier this year?
We, the media, and the men involved get caught up in the NFL, and rightfully so at times, but people need to realize that this is just a game. Some things are more important than playing football on Sundays. I appreciate the quote from Williamson.
You don't have funeral pay? Most companies I know give 3-5 days paid off for death of a family member.

Its very different though. There are 16 footballs games a year. He is paid to play in them. Football players do not have vacation, sick days, etc because they work less than half the year.
Im not saying he should have played, thats his decision, but its odd to me that someone who is paid to play football would expect to be paid when they chose not to play in the game, regardless of the reason.
He wasn't available to his team that day. Should he be paid money he didnt earn?
Good, Culpepper is a sleazy piece of dirt, he deserves to be degraded by everyone.
Is this how it usually works though? That if a player misses a game for a personal reason, he's not paid? Does this usually happen? I can't recall other situations like this, but it must happen.
You are out of your mind. Culpepper refused to do what the team wanted him to do. He should have been locked out, they decided they did not want him on their team any more. Basically, he was fired, and it appears to have been a very smart move.
I'm not sure, but it doesnt seem wrong to me.
Really, think about it, he is paid to play. Wouldn't paying him for this game be giving him money he didnt earn?
