What's the difference if he had a minor injury that kept him out 1 game. I don't think the league is being heartless. The bucs should give him the time off and deal with the situation.
I would be suprised if the Bucs dont but that will leave them short a kicker and unfortuantely that might mean they cut someone else to get a one game kicker.
and to those concerned about the Precident that Goodell would be setting. I don't see that as a problem he wouldn't have to evaluate every situation but instead he would just have to grant the exception everytime someone loses their Child. I have no problem setting a precident like that. As others pointed out he could just make it the immediate family.
