I guess anyone who laughed at Marchand crying deserves to be shamed by you and the likewise intellectually advanced?
You don’t get it. Not everyone cries, not everyone has to cry in that moment. Whether you do or don’t doesn’t matter, because everyone is different and responds to it differently.

But people who know what it feels like to give everything for something, and either get it (or lose it) will understand that it’s perfectly ok to cry in that moment whether out of happiness or disappointment.

To call it disrespectful or classless is just idiotic. That’s all. It doesn’t make you manly, or old fashioned, or anything worthy of respect when you trot in here with a “crying? lol what is crying??”

And by all means, laugh at Marchand for crying. Because if you don’t like a guy on an opposing team, it’d be wrong to deny yourself the schadenfreude of seeing them in that level of crushing disappointment.

Taking a little bit of joy in watching a player you don’t like cry is fine. I still find joy watching Kesler cry. But trying to categorise it as some shameful thing that isn’t befitting of a respectful classy gentleman is just embarrassing to watch lol.

Then you’ve never earned or lost something that significant (relative to your own life of course), and that’s a very sad thing indeed.
