Last week during a NFL playoff game between the 49ers vs the Saints the game came down to Alexis Smith of the 49ers throwing a winning touchdown to Vernon Davis the tight end. This touchdown meant so much for Vernon Davis because of the adversity that they faced during the year and overcoming the odds after past two seasons. So, when he caught that pass in the end zone all emotion hit him and he cried.
While watching this game my cousin’s Danielle friend Nola said that this was an “unacceptable man cry”. My cousin disagreed and came up with a list of acceptable public man crying moment. Which were:
1.) Death- when someone passes away you have a pass to grieve
2.) Anything Dealing w/ your children- when there are major moments in your childs life that marks a milestone is an understandable moment
3.) A major accomplishment- Like a Vern Davis, Michael Jordan winning his 1st Championship and Will Smith getting that job at the end of Pursuit of Happyness
Unacceptable Man Crying
When Chris Bosh lost in the finals and started crying or When Rich Dolla of Love & Hip Hop started crying over his artist Olivia in front of the garden.

Grown men should never cry after a loss. But Vernon Davis’ cry was definitely OK.
I definitely agree because of the underdog mentality San Fran went under all year and especially after the season they had last year.
Hahahahaha! I can’t believe you really put this up! I’m sticking to my theory though! lol
