Slim chance, but what would you do if you had to make the choice?

With modern medicine there's no way he should actually have to miss the game. If he does miss for the birth of his child I'd say it's an excuse to not play due to his messed up elbow.

I'm not in his shoes, but I would choose my child.

First child. Is this even a question? He won the Superbowl last year, he knows what it's like.

If it were any other game or any other profession, I'd say you gotta see the birth. But not this game. I love that this will be the focus the next few days.

The birth, that is easy.

I have missed birthdays, Christmas', and other holidays due to being away for tournaments and other related things.

Super Bowl without a doubt. It's just way more important and it was known when his SO got pregnant that this was potentially an issue.

I also believe that the idea of being there when your kids are born is the most overblown idea. Who the hell cares? Yes, if you can be there then dammit, be there 100% of the time. There are TONS of things more important, a Super Bowl being one.

I wouldn't hate on him for either choice here, it's a tough decision.

It's his first child. He won the Super Bowl just a year ago.

Your argument might hold water if this was his first Super Bowl, but it's not.

When you work in CFB or CBB yup. I made choice to go to CWS and bowl games rather than coming in days later etc.

To me at the time those were the biggest things going. The name of game doesnt diminish the importance when you are involved in it.

It was my job. Now though, I would not do it, I would stay for family things.

Irrelevant IMO. I could not care less about seeing any of my children being born. The only purpose to be there, IMO, is to be with your SO while a medical event is occurring. If she's going to be fine, and there is something else that's really important, go do that other thing.
