Former NFL quarterback and current CBS Sports personality Boomer Esiason had some candid comments about paternity leave on Wednesday, and they have generated plenty of controversy.
The discussion surrounded New York Mets player Daniel Murphy, whose wife recently gave birth. Murphy took Opening Day off for the Mets due to “paternity leave”, but this occurred after the baby was born. So Boomer didn’t agree with missing games – but the way he expressed his opinion was pretty strong.
“I would’ve said ‘C-section before the season starts, I need to be at Opening Day,'” he says as part of his comments. (His explanation begins at 1:42). He adds, assuming no birth complications, “get your ass back to work.”
What do you think about Boomer’s remarks on paternity leave? Is his point in line, or do his remarks step out of bounds?
