Ruthless Business: UFL Team cuts a player whose son requires open heart surgery
Football is a tough business, you never know when your final days on a team will come.
Houston Roughnecks tight end Braedon Bowman is learning this the hard way. According to Bowman himself, he was cut and found out on Twitter.
Bowman seems to be at the hospital with his son who requires open-heart surgery, when he received the news.
The tight end lashed out asking if the team was going to call him, and then asked what he was supposed to do with insurance to cover his sons open-heart surgery.
I think this is a fair question:
Do you think the UFL should keep him on the roster as an exemption until his son’s surgery is complete? Teams in the NFL do this all the time. Shoot just yesterday the Vikings decided to pay the contract of one of their draft picks to the family after he was killed in a car accident.
I do not believe the ask for Bowman is too much, do you agree?
