Hate to bring this back but just got on and feel like I should be able to respond. This can be taken somewhere else if wanted by others
Yeah he had to get approval from his employer to miss a day of work just like anyone else in the world would have to do, not sure why that is a big deal.
People only think it effects his character because his views don't align with theirs. If someone missed a game (with team approval) to attend a left wing media personality than the people dogging him wouldn't really give a s%*#. What should be asked is if Shaw is openly talking about his political beliefs in the work place and making his teammates and coaches uncomfortable or does he come to work and do his job and is a good teammate? You can disagree politically or religiously but doesn't mean both can't be good people and teammates. We have gotten away from that so much in this country
