Chiefs GM: Eric Berry's battle with cancer going well
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...cer-going-well
Eric Berry's battle with Hodgkin lymphoma is going well, according to Kansas City Chiefs general manager John Dorsey. "Well, anybody who knows Eric Berry knows that if there's a challenge presented to him, he will attack it with a vengeance," Dorsey told Sirius XM NFL Radio on Tuesday. "And he will do that. Everything that I have gotten back has been very positive. I have not spoken with him on the phone for probably six weeks, but I have texts. We communicated through texts. He's in good spirits, he's fine, he's driving, and he's going to conquer it." Dorsey added that Berry is able to drive again, per host Alex Marvez. The 26-year-old was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in December and while it's a treatable disease, his promising NFL career has been put on the back burner. The general manager didn't give any football update on the safety, but that isn't a surprise. Berry's battle lies off the field and he has the clear support of the Chiefs franchise, which did not cut him this offseason just to save a couple of dollars. |

If you're a truck driver and you get cataracts that blind you, making you completely incapable of driving a truck, just how many employers do you think are going to just pay you to sit at home? If you're a line worker and you end up getting paralyzed as a result of meningitis; how many companies are going to just keep sending you your paychecks more than a year later? Pretty much none. This isn't just an illness thing as it would be for you and I. This is an illness that makes you completely incapable of doing your job in any capacity. You can't compare this to you or I getting cancer - rather you have to have analogs similar to the ones above. If you're working in an environment with scarce resources (here it's cap, in the above analogs consider a break even profit margin), these are the decisions a business has to make. There's an entire industry dedicated to paying people who come down with illness/injury that makes them incapable of doing their job on a long-term basis and you think I'm the one that's unreasonable? You're welcome to let raw emotion cloud your judgment. You're right - you wouldn't be working for me.

Please, use more rhetoric. If you could nail yourself to a cross here then I'd really see where you're coming from. Jesus, it's like I'm reading someone's 'Oscar moment' here. Yes - it's raw emotion.

Dude, you have no compassion, no empathy for anyone judging by your posts over the years. A little emotion would do you good. And a better attitude.
