The firing of Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as general manager of the Minnesota Vikings has sparked conversations over “Football Culture”. It’s been revealed that he took 2 weeks of paternity leave after his wife gave birth, & many in NFL circles were shocked by this news.
Football culture praises unusual sacrifice. It’s seen as a key ingredient of success. It’s the norm to miss births, birthdays, holidays, and even funerals. That doesn’t make it the right. Kwesi chose his family, & good for him. He wouldn’t have his job either way.
