Crying on the Medal Stand

Cesar Cielo made it about halfway through the Brazilian National Anthem today before he started crying. If that were you up there receiving a GOLD Medal and having your flag raised and your country's national anthem played, do you think you would also get emotional?

    The worst thing about sports, without exception, is man crying. If I see one more man a-weepin', I'm gonna hurl. Conversely, the BEST thing about sports, particularly professional sports, is seeing a man pound his chest and parade/prance around the sports arena for simply doing his job (for which he is probably paid in excess of $10M). That brings me back time and again. I'll cry if anyone challenges me on this one.
