Crying on the sideline!

Is it right? Is it wrong? When a man tears his acl, breaks a bone in their body and suffers a season ending injury is it acceptable for them to cry on the sideline? How can you judge a man who's gonna spend the next six months to a year of his life rehabbing? A man who's being taken Away from the sport they know all too well and loves too much? You're not gonna deal with the rehabilitation they're gonna have to go through. You're not gonna be told you're gonna get cut or traded away because of an injury. People don't see things from that player's point of view when I do. The only exception if it's a player who's prone to injury. It gets to the point where you have to give up on him. There's no other choice but to cut ties with that player. Regardless of how good of a person they are. But when it's that vet who's contract is expiring or that rookie who's been on the bench all season until four weeks ago when they made that game changing play now they're on the up and up. However now they're facing a season and possibly career ending injury. An injury that might halt their career. An injury that might prevent them from feeding their family for quite sometime. An injury that might put them out of their league and place them in a position where they must work a normal 9 to 5 just to get by. That's when that college degree comes in handy some may say. But let's be realistic not everyone is built to stand up to the roadblock better known as college. I don't know but if a man suffers an injury and goes to the sideline and cries once they find out what the injury is or just the pain they're dealing with then it's not my place to say if it's right or wrong for a man to cry on the sideline.
