I'm not the type of person to act like the unpredictable nature of sports can't lend itself to emotional outbursts. However, can we dial it back a bit guys? NFL players are really starting to take liberties with this crying business. First Matt Hasselbeck was pouting because he played well after being sick all day, and now Odell Beckham is on the verge of hysterics because...well...I actually have no fucking idea why. I guess because he tweaked his hamstring celebrating a touchdown? As the Giants were driving down the field for their game winning score and I saw that Beckham had come back in the game I was saying to myself "this guy is going to score the game winning touchdown and they are going to act like he is a warrior for playing hurt". Well, I was wrong, he didn't even have to score a touchdown to act like he had overcome some tragic injury. Just sniffling back tears in front of the camera because he was sooooo overcome with happiness (or shame) after a week 5 win.
Wrong emotion bro. You're not supposed to be crying, you're supposed to be blushing, or whatever the fuck black people do when they are embarrassed. In fact, the only thing more embarrassing than hurting yourself dancing is crying on television after you do it. The Giants were a dropped interception away from losing to Colin Kaepernick. Maybe that's the reason why he was crying. It certainly can't be because his team beat the worst team in the NFL, led by the worst quarterback in the NFL, in the dying seconds of the game, five weeks into the season, after he hurt himself dancing. If that's where the bar is at for tears in football then the professional sport that pays men to tackle each other at full speed is mighty close to looking like a gaggle of single broads trying to keep their faces dry while their friend's soon-to-be husband says his vows.
