I’ve seen a lot of it just this week alone, like Sam Acho’s podcast and Dave Portnoy lol

Yeah but Portnoy is a troll. Caleb Williams is an outlier. He cried like he tore his knee apart and it was just a hamstring and might play this week. No one criticizes serious injuries.

This isn't a ooooh the patriarchy strikes again rallying cry this is just that Caleb Williams is especially emotional over a non-serious injury.

Why is it unreasonable to be upset about an injury that you think could cost the season or even your career? I’d feel like I let my teammates and fans down

That's not unreasonable. This injury however was none of those things and a hamstring in general isnt going to cost anyone any careers. His emotional response was not proportional to the injury sustained and he has a history of being a bit of drama queen. No one goes around criticizing athletes for crying about serious injury. Your post suggests you think this is a widespread problem and it isn't. Its a unique circumstance.

He doesn’t know that his injury is minor in the moment, do you think he magically knows he’ll be back in? I see people criticizing athletes responding like that to injuries all the time. It’s also not my post. How did you manage to be wrong in every part of your comment? Impressive.

Anecdotal story, Kimball Anders when he became starting running back, but he Kansas City Chiefs in the late 90s he sustained a career ending injury that he never came back from. He cried when he got carded off the field. No one criticized him for that because it was proportional to the injury sustained.

I don't think you understand just how often these athletes are getting hurt. He knows the difference between a tear and his hamstring, a cramp a sprain all of that to say that he doesn't means you don't understand just how often these things happen.

I don't think you do see people criticizing people all the time or crying about these injuries or if you do they're on Podcasts where people are attempting to be edgy, but mainstream podcasts or mainstream. Talking Heads are not doing that.

So you don't think it's a widespread problem

I think it’s a dumb standard. Let a man cry when he stubs his toe for all I care. It’s not like he disrespected anyone else in the process. I think it’s weird to expect athletes who’ve never been seriously injured to just automatically know if it’s bad. Are we yelling at Dart for walking on his injury because “he should’ve known” it was bad? No. So why do we do the reverse? If shit hurts, it hurts.

What? I do think it’s a widespread problem, he rarely gets injured, he’s not magic and all knowing to identify every injury as serious or not.

Okay then you bitchy little comment of "it's not my post how did you manage to get everything wrong" wasn't wrong. "December 2, 2022 (College - USC): Right thigh hamstring strain (Grade 2). Played through a severe hamstring injury during the PAC-12 Championship game before suiting up for the Cotton Bowl on January 2, 2022"

For someone complaining about another man’s reaction to a hamstring injury in the NFL, you sure are whiney 💀
