Woman up!<BR/><BR/>I think it's strange that when a man chokes up people start wondering whether society has become feminized.<BR/><BR/><B>"But his sobbing for himself at the press conference seemed narcissistic and out-of-proportion."</B><BR/><BR/>Farve's display of emotions was natural; the inclination to psychoanalyze Favre—however—seems really weird.<BR/><BR/><B>"He is retiring after playing a <I>game.</I> No one died. His child isn't sick. There was no tragedy."</B><BR/><BR/>Anyone at all acquainted with human emotions, realizes how things can build and up find release at a later point. Has anyone ever thought that Favre was sad because his dad never got to see him retire?, or that the moment of reflection brought by retirement caused all of the emotional stress of these many years (his dad's death, his wife's breast cancer, et al) to flood in upon him? Maybe the thought of <I>leaving</I> the game he loved so much and devoted much of his adult life to, also played a part in his emotional reaction.<BR/><BR/>Fact of the matter is there are a host of valid reasons why Favre would be choked up that do not involve calling the guy "narcissistic."<BR/><BR/>I just wonder at the lack of sensitivity, sympathy, understanding, and grace demonstrated in this post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646581.post-73829342305102105622008-03-09T14:16:00.000-06:002008-03-09T14:16:00.000-06:00Melissa, you are a hard woman!We just don't know w...Melissa, you are a hard woman!<BR/><BR/>We just don't know what was going on in his life at the moment. Something very personal could have developed that none of us are aware of. I think those tears were even a surprise to him. It was just fine that he lost it and I found it very endearing.<BR/><BR/>I have to agree with you on wanting strong leaders not to cry in public.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
