You've never met me. I don't hold back with anyone. Men who cry needlessly are sissies and I don't hesitate to say that to their face. Period. The only permissible time for men to cry would be the birth of a child, the death of a child/spouse/parent/sibling. Other than that, man up and don't like some over-emotional sissy. Crying over any career-connected event shows emotional instability, which in the subject here is pretty much a given. WTH would anyone cry over any career event? Damn pansy!

I have a daughter. And I will teach her to be very wary around any man who cries because it can only show one of two things - that they're weak and unstable or trying to manipulate others. We're raising a generation of weak and overly sensitive crybabies.

So tell us about these sissies you're raising...

Its not hard to be twice the man you are. I would tell a daughter to avoid men like you who are intolerant of anything that doesn't mirror them and are just plain pathetic, its usually a sign of much deeper trouble.

Your obviously not any type of athlete and clearly don't understand the hardships of an elite gay athlete.

Tebow wasn't shafted. He can't play.

He ran a 4.7 at his pro day, which is comparable to other NFL speed rushers (almost the exact same 40 as 2013 draft pick Quanterous Smith). If you knew anything about football either, you'd know that 10 yard times are the ones that matter for ends. 40 times are for receivers and defensive backs.

Then again, your username leads me to assume you're a Chiefs fan, which means you don't have a clue what good football looks like unless it's happening on the other side of the field.

Kid won't make it sorry. NFL is best of the best whether you are gay or not. If Clowney said he was gay he'd still go number one. Get it yet ?
Whether he makes it or not doesn't matter. The social implications have already taken place.
