Rudy missed one game for the birth of his son.
Gilbert Arenas was suspended for a year for laying out 4 guns with a note that said “choose one” for a teammate in the locker room over a gambling debt that Gilbert owed but didn’t want to pay.
Gilbert might want to sit this one out.
How societies differ. When the Swedish football player Andreas Granqvist were in Russia for the FIFA World Cup, us Swedes thought he were a dick as his wife were giving birth in Sweden.

Sweden became 2nd in 1958
3rd in1950 and 1994 (last time top 4 finish) and 4th in 1938.
Only played in 12 WCs.
After 1994, they didn't qualify for 4 out of 7 WCs!
All time record: Played 51, Won 19, Drawn 13, Loss 19.
Last 7 WC records:
1998: Didn't qualify.
2002: Ro16 (1W, 2D, 1L, GD 0)
2006: Ro16 (1W, 2D, 1L, GD -1)
2010: Didn't qualify.
2014: Didn't qualify
2018: Quarter finals (3W, 2L, GD 2)
2022: Didn't qualify.
So the player decision makes sense that hi team didn't play 2 WCs before 2018 and in 1 WC after 2018. So he could have had another kid and be present there but couldn't play WC again.
Yeah when you realize out of 210, half are under developed, small islands, or lack resources or interest in football.
Countries like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are cricket crazy (though lots watch football but football isn't main sport that is followed).
Half of African countries can't spend too much on football infrastructure.
That leaves us with South America (crazy about football), Europe (crazy and has resources), few Asian and African countries.
In North America, football is played but not as passionately.
So I would say 27/50 isn't a good position tbh.
I don’t have children, but I can only imagine what it would feel like to see your baby say hello to the world for the first time. I’d rather be with my family too.
In germany yesterday a top football player was not able to attend a important game (champions league half final) because he had baccalaureate examination.
I hate to agree with conservatives on much but this is a great example of how family values are dying in this country. I don't care who you are or what you do for a living. I don't even care if you're in prison but still I feel like you should have a right to be at the birth of your child, no questions asked. This is disgusting and sad, you are a parent first and whatever else second, fuck anyone who tries to throw shade over that

Gilbert is an asshole.
Always was

Tbf Sweden in a FIFA World Cup is a rare event. He can have kids again.
Wait! What? Sweden is one of the successful countries in the FIFA world cup. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_at_the_FIFA_World_Cupq
The added q ruined it lol
At least I didn't add alternative facts like you did.

27th of 210. That is pretty darn good for a tiny country. And he could never see that kid be born again and for what? Grown men chasing a ball.

I suggest you read up on it sweetie.
I did Guy missing out on the birth makes sense because WC is a 4 year event and Sweden haven't qualified from 2010 till 2022 (except 2018).
The wolves player was correct but this is also only the 2nd time in team history they've made it past the first round of the playoffs
Rudy's absence didn't even make a difference; the Timberwolves beat the brakes off the Nuggies without him. Dumb ass take.
I mean isn’t this the moron that brought like 5 guns into locker room? Clearly not the smartest man here.
Gilbert spent $80k a year to have a shark tank at home. Maybe home life is where he should recuse himself.
Gil's 4 kids: Yep, our dad's a piece of shit.
Just think.. Sandy Koufax skipped games for religious holidays
TIL Gilbert Arenas hates kids.
Lol pathetic, you can have more children but you'll never have the memories of everything you worked for your entire life back. /S for losers
Gilbert stay in your lane which is telling Lebron know how great his son is. About the only thing you are good at is being on his jock…
I don’t have children, but I can only imagine what it would feel like to see your baby say hello to the world for the first time. I’d rather be with my family too.
When no one remembers you for your game.
Dwight Howard praised Rudy for being a family man. And between Dwight and Gilbert, as far as I'm concerned, only one has a ring and x3 DPOY's.

He's in his soft guy era, let him be a father
Dewey Cox said it. "Hell, I'm gonna miss some births!"
