Are male sportsmen allowed to cry

[wainy]

Grown men crying over a loss in sport. In my day that'd get you laughed at and a good 'kin hiding.

Soz abar you, macho man.

What about crying from the one eyed milkman?

Soz abar you, macho man.

There's nothing macho about not crying over sport. It's just normal adult behaviour.

Where do you draw the line on crying in public?

Most of GOT cried when the fat kopite was appointed

Two of my favourite athletes C.Ronaldo and Mayweather have both cried, so I am saying yes, its ok.

Former Wigan chairman Dave Whelan broke his leg in the cup final and didn't cry or even mention it again.

This needs to be the stoic standard for sportsmen.

If you cry you don't get gold medals.

They can cry if they want to, I mean the England team cried and people were okay with that I think?
