Who cares?
You don't care much until it's your parent that dies; then all of a sudden, it means something when people go out of their way to offer sympathy. You will be shocked at the people who you never considered good friends who show up to support and help, and shocked by a couple of individuals you belived were true blue but couldn't attend the funeral because they had to put a power point presentation together or so some such excuse. You find you make much more of an effort to attend the funerals of others parents because you realize that it matters after all. Losing a parent is tough.

There must be a typo or something, no way the starting QB would not attend the funeral of his veteran offensive teammate.

You would think his position coach, his backfield mates, his QB... All might attend.
I assume this happened during the off-season when everyone is spread to the winds. If it happened during the season/pre-season you would bet several would show.
Shows a definite lack of class by the organization. It obviously bothers DW and they should know him well enough to know that and to give a damn

Well said.
That's why I think these people are trolling just to dick around. Either that or they they are just a-hole.
You hit the nail on the head. For anyone who has lost a parent/sibling/close friend, you realize how important it is to support someone.
I highly doubt Deangelo is a "dick" and even if he didn't have a lot of friends, that doesn't excuse Ron Rivera and executives/personnel from showing up.
Who gives a frick where it is. It was during the summer. It's not like Carolina had a playoff game the same day

Its a shitty work environment.
These men are paid to violenty take part each other...so why are surprised when some dont show the humanity we think they should show?
And it really starts at the top--- most of the owners are shitty, egostical, greedy people themselves. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree

Meh whatever.
It's a place of business. He's a grown man, grow up.
I wouldn't expect my coworkers to come to my mom's funeral.
I guess he wants to be consoled and what not. I'd just want people to treat me normally.

Worked for a Cpa firm with over 200 employees. When a family memeber died the partners would spend either 300-500 hundred dollars on catered food or donation of family's choice. Partners would also attend said wake. I couldn't imagine working with some of the assholes in this thread, or much worse, working for them
