Nope. I hate losing. But I don't cry about it. That video was funny to me :lol2:
And you really believe that? Quite a few were crying if you watched it. Some even during the national anthem. I expect you've cried in the last 30 days. I know I have and am not ashamed of it. Money was the last thing the men on those teams were playing for.greybeard":1ppyvjia said:Not really applicable. Everyone wins something nowadays just for participating.
For the Super Bowl, players on the winning team receive $165,000, while players on the losing team receive $117,000.
He's just crying because he didn't get to dab and found out Superman really can't fly after all, tho he did leave the post game interview almost as fast as a speeding bullet.

It's not the game. It's the lesson learned from the game that hurts.greybeard":1dqza7c5 said:Only time I've cried in the last year or so was over my brother's cancer--I certainly never have and won't do it over a game even when I was a kid.

I learned that lesson from my father waay before I was old enough to play any games. I knew before I even started school I wouldn't always get my way no matter how hard I tried at any given task, and learned you learn more from failure than success. No sense crying over spilt milk, "so dry it up boy!" Carried that and other lessons into adulthood.TexasBred":ua51720i said:It's not the game.

Your opponent beat you head to head. Do not steal the glory of their victory. Hold your head high, as a worthy opponent, shake their hand, represent yourself, your family and your school with class and dignity. Now if deep in your gut, you didnt prepare or didn't give your best effort, you STILL DO NOT CRY. You just live with that feeling for the rest of your days. Point is: work hard, give your best and let the chips fall where they may. You don't have to be the best, you just have to give your best.
For me it was both the love of the sport and the hard work and feeling like a failure for me it didn`t matter how good a game i played if we lost i should have done better i was even mad at my self if we won and i didn`t think i did as good as i thought i should have. And dads don`t tell your kids well you did the best that you could do or that well you gave it your all because it`s like saying you did the best you could do and you still suckedBigfoot":2nkr81ow said:I didn't watch the super bowl. In fact, I've never watched one, so I'm not sure what happened. I'm assuming someone broke down in tears.
I have cried after losing. I have cried after winning. Wish I could say I have done neither.
I have done the same watching my children compete.
For some people a sport transcends the normal parameters of life. I don't know if it's the love of the sport, the hard work that goes into it, the emotion of the day, or what.
Serious question:
Is being super competitive a bad thing?
