[...] a second basemen for the New York Mets, Daniel Murphy, took a two-day paternity leave. Paternity leave is newer than maternity leave but still an accepted practice. Spectator sports in this country are all about the money. The owner, Daniel Snyder, has refused to even consider changing the name, even though it's a racial slur. Nothing like a good heated exchange to drive those ratings. Boomer Esiason, himself a former professional quarterback, said on radio: "Quite frankly, I would have said C-section before the season opens." [...] women's health rights are under attack all over the country. What are you going to do? I mean you are going to sit there and look at your wife in a hospital bed for two days? First off, you don't attend the birth of your child because you want to help the mother. [...] a mother needs emotional support as well. All the smooth PR moves in the world can't make that harsh reality disappear.
