Is is considered to be "weak" if you cry after winning/losing a match?

Question

I had this debate with somebody else at the gym. My coach tells me you wont feel less of a man if you do. I agree. This other guy at the gym says he would fell like a sissy.

Answer 1

Crying just could be a powerful emotion.

(Winning or losing, might cause you to cry.)

Answer 2

It is just a matter of being passionate about what you are doing. If you train your entire life for something and it comes to a screeching halt or the opposite you finally achieve and a lifetime worth of work has paid off then you will show it any number of ways. No shame in crying but different people handle things in different ways. A backflip may be sufficive for one and crying for another.

Answer 3

Crying when you win-good. Crying when you lose-pu**y

Answer 4

Rocky Marciano cried in his dressing room after he beat Joe Louis. Does the guy at your gym think Rocky was a sissy?

Boxers also cry sometimes when they lose a fight.

Answer 5

Winning i could except. Losing would make you a p***y through my eyes

Answer 6

Its not that they are weak..they need some more confidence to face things and take things in a right way.....

Answer 7

no, your human emotions will take over at times, it's ok.

Answer 8

The reason why athletes cry is because they have given everything they have into that sport, and when it comes short it is heart breaking, and when they win , well i guess the same thing but then again i don't know why they cry.
