EMPATHY, USA — Al Horford had a baby Sunday.
It was a pleasant bit of news for a wonderfully pleasant guy, who is married to former Miss Universe Amelia Vega and had their first child Ean in February 2015. When Horford missed the game in Miami the following day, it came as no surprise...since he was a little busy holding his newborn baby and celebrating one of the few truly perfect moments of one’s life.
But it was foolish for him to think he could take an incredibly brief paternity leave without having to answer to the wrath of our nation’s capital of hot takes.
