First, no no no and no, I do not believe what I am saying in the title. There may be some more appropriate ways than others but we all grieve in our own ways. However I was really taken aback when I saw an article at Yahoo Sports today. We have a football player, criticizing a player from the Patriots, who if you did not know lost the Super Bowl. The player is not being criticized for losing but for not grieving properly. It is just so ridiculous that someone should tell another person that they need to show the loss and not be over it so quickly and NOT to have a good time following the Super Bowl. So, let me get this straight, if someone prepares for a possible loss, be it a game, a person or maybe property and following the loss they do not show the grief as maybe you would, then they are wrong! Here is the article I am referring to: Rodney Harrison about Rob Gronkowski.
Now, I have to ask….Who is immature? Who should feel stupid? Who needs to grow up? Who has made the mistake here? I guess it is better to take this loss and become devastated over the loss and let it rule your emotions and fester inside of you.
great entry as usual! keep em coming!
