I'm not going to act like I have never cried watching my favorite team lose a big game. When the Cincinnati Bengals lost to the SF 49ers in Super Bowl XXIII in January of 1989, I cried like a baby.
I was heartbroken.
I was 11 years old.
That was the last time it happened.
I had pretty much forgot about it until last year's Michigan loss to Appalachian State:
I laughed.
I thought, do people, as full-grown adults, really take sports this seriously? I understand getting caught up in the moment, but to start crying because you're upset at a sporting event with hundreds of cameras everywhere? What the hell, people?
Did this Cubs fan really think they had a chance? Come on.
OK, so this screenshot wasn't from today's game (Texas 45 - Oklahoma 35) and the kid is young, but it is still funny.

The Crying Fan

I played sports my whole life and I have to say that as an athlete being on the field, I did not cry once. There were moments when I really had to hold it back because if you've ever left everything you have out their on the field, then you can understand where i am coming from. Now as far the fan crying when there favorite sports team loses; give me a fucking break. I don't even exclude kids from this on behalf of my father who would not allow me to cry when I was little kid. Its bullshit! Suck it the fuck up and realize that if your team loses to a team like Appalachian State, then for fuck sakes, do you really think that Michigan is still a BCS contender?
