Nothing wrong with a grown man shedding a tear or two if his beloved sports team lost.

We have all watched athletes express their anger in words and actions. THAT needs to be controlled. Kicking a ball return, throwing or bashing a golf club, attacking a teammate or opponent....those behaviors don't belong in sports. Taunting and belittling, that finger-pointing "in your face" dance is obnoxious.
GOOD sportsmanship is essential...knowing how to win as graciously as you know how to lose. Taught from the start, where LOSING happens, paves the way for athletes who truly CAN be role models.
Crying over a loss is a form of frustration. I'd much rather see a man cry over a loss than act out in anger. Then, get up and congratulate your victorious opponent, who ISN"T gloating. You know, on any given day.......

i am gonna get myself in trouble here i think, but my point of view,i believe emotion in sport should be a controlled emotion..Men will always cry,but it is where,when,why,and how that is important..i can not speak for all men,as everyone is different,i myself have cried twice in the last 30 years.i do not understand why it happens,,the last time it happened,my wife and i were just driving along the road,we were having some problems with ,my job, house,money to name a few,,,and i just pulled over the side of the road,sat there staring out the window with tears running down my damn face..anyway we just sat there for about 10 minutes,dried the eye's and got on with life,,,very weird though,,it is an illness i do not want to often....................................always nice talking

Would you rather have tears run down your face for ten minutes, or get a gun and kill your family before turning it on yourself? Those emotional breaks/outlets are needed to keep your body from going into "shock". You've heard the expression, "I've had it up to here" (designating the top of the throat, where the next thing out is going to be words to regret? Better tears; same relief, no afterwards to regret.

it's always ok to show how you truly feel. that's what coming out of the closet is all about. people are tired of pretending to please others. truth is always the higher ground, and paints a clearer picture.

It's better not to get into a big discussion on the site here about why I disagree; when we get together at Gilroy's In and Out Burger, we can talk about it. :D
