First, it’s not a children’s game, it’s the most popular sport in the world with millions of dollars on the line and teammates and fans that are relying on full participation. The civilized thing for him to have done is declining to participate at the outset of the tournament. Routine childbirth is not classified as a life threatening emergency by the military.

Still a children's game. Adults should probably not get involved with children's game, they quickly become weird about it.

Why? They have substitutes they can bring in if someone needs to leave. It is not like he is the only player on the team.

Never said it was. Never the less if some guy's wife is giving birth they will try to get you home in time if they can.

Because they actually understand that family is important and dad being there is important as well.

But I must say after years of hearing bull about "God, Family and Country" from some of the males on FR it is refreshing to hear what they really have as their goals are "Ego Stroke, Dopamine Hit and Bank Account"

Makes a lot of things much more understandable.

So thank you. For drawing a bright clear line between you and actual men.
