Have you ever cried over a sporting event?
 

Just curious. I never knew anyone even considered it until I found this board and several of you said you do. (Not passing judgment at all, I just have honestly never heard of it).


The only time I can recall getting emotional over a sporting event was January 1996, we all know what I'm referring to. I walked out my parents basement and was yelling outside and throwing stuff for probably 20 min. Then I realized "Nobody can hear me and my ears are now frozen". Sports are, as Don Fortune once said, the Toy Department of life.


Anyway: do you cry over sports? Well punk: do ya?

Yes, yes I have.

Be specific. I want to pass judgment on whether it was worthy.

You realize who you are talking to, right?

How much heartbreak we share between the Chiefs, Royals, KU,& K-State.... So many tears..

1997

I am sure I did when I was a kid.

When we lost to the colts in the kicker who shall not be named's famous game, I remember being angry and not sad

You probably will if Michael Sam ever plays in the NFL.

No tears. I've thought about breaking things before, though.

Only three times.

January 7th, 1996
January 4th, 1998

I don't think tears have actually fallen but I've been sick to my stomach and in a bad mood for a week

Not since I was 9. Maybe getting angry is just as pathetic as crying, but I can't imagine having tears over a game I'm not playing or coaching in. There are better things to cry over.

I teared up a little after the Royals won against the A's to win their first playoff game in 29 years.

I was crying inside after the 2010 playoff game. Something inside me died.

You weren't alone.

I haven't actually cried that I can remember, but there were two instances where I was incredibly depressed: the Lin Elliott game, and when the NFL decided to give Elway a Super Bowl win.
