Grown men ok to get emotional?

 “Sorry, I’m getting a little emotional,” explained Fisher, fighting back tears while being interviewed after the game. “We work hard in this game and sometimes things don’t go your way. I love this game, I love this team, I love this guy (Kobe) and I love what I do. Nothing means more to me than helping my team win.”
 
So anyways I watched the Lakers game yesterday and afterwards Derek Fisher got choked up and emotional when asked about his performance after the game. For me it was awesome seeing a classy guy like Derek Fisher get emotional. I'm an emotional guy and I respect how someone who pours so much in to what they do that for them it really matters. What do other think?

he tends to get "emotional" no matter what the outcome of the game is...they could win or lose and that guy is gonna cry either way

Sure

I got emotional at the end of Metal Gear Solid 3 and I'm not afraid to admit it.

MY EYES WATERED AT THE OPENING SCENE OF STAR TREK!!!!

There's nothing wrong with that.  I tend to get super emotional when I'm upset.  Whenever I'm boiling hot and Hulk-level angry I get emotional and teary-eyed.  I feel like I'm about to f*** someone up.  I don't know why, but that's just the way it is.

People always refer to crying as 'getting emotional', when 'emotional' could be a variety of things including being angry, being happy, etc. It's socially acceptable for a man to 'get emotional' if that emotion is anger, but 'getting emotional' in the sense of crying is not socially acceptable. I think a rephrase is necessary here. I think yes indeed it is acceptable for grown men to 'get emotional', in fact it would be seen as abnormal if a person, male or female, never had any emotion at all. If you mean to ask whether it is acceptable for a grown man to have tears in his eyes for whatever reason, then no, there is absolutely no problem with that, why should there be?

It's ok to get emotional.It's not ok to be a crybaby.

It is absolutely unacceptable for a grown man to cry. They must keep it bottled up all the time until they snap and slaughter their family. That is the proper course of action.

To quote my father..."It's not ok to cry if you loose or during a movie, it's ok to cry if you have a nail going through your foot."

I THINK ITS DEFINITELY OKAY FOR A GROWN MAN TO GET EMOTIONAL WE ARE ALL HUMAN AND A PERSON WHO SHOWS NO EMOTIONS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO SOMETHING YOU HAVE PASSION FOR THEN I GUESS YOUR NOT HUMAN

that hurt my feelings *sob* *sob*
*perks up* what the heck? Of course it is! Just don't be a frickin' cry baby!
You can cry when someone's died, or when you lose a part of your body (especially that one part that make's you "tough"), but don't cry when someone calls you stupid or you lose something.

Depends on what it is.

We are giant seas of hormones and chemicals.....sometimes you gotta let that out.

Of course. There's nothing worse than a guy whose emotionless and like a robot basically.
I like emotion in my men [: passion and crying included.

I don't think we have the right to judge athletes considering the passion they have for the game.

Naw I was just askin if was ok to act like that........     "

emotions are what make us human

I always cry at the end of Predator. Lost his whole team, chokes me up every time.

i may sound old fashioned here but i've never seen ay point to crying, it doesn't make you feel better, it doesn't put a stop to whatever is upsetting you, and pretty much does nothing to help so why is it a problem if i don't cry, there are lots of other pointless activities i do participate in that should make up for it
