Lots of these athletes are just man children. Never faced consequences and always had everyone fawning over them and covering up for their mistakes and attitudes.

Ever seen a child throw a tantrum because they were told to go to timeout? They cry, usually hit or throw something, and sulk all the way to timeout.This is the EXACT reaction you get from a child in that situation, like literally every emotion he emits in the tunnel is literally what a child going to timeout would do. Although, a child doesn't usually articulate their wrongdoings very transparently in an apology, which this player did, so I will at least acknowledge that.

Walking down the tunnel it looks like he says “Why did I do that? Fuck!” Regardless though it was obvious he knew he fucked up, he wasn’t mad at the referee who threw him out.

Bro is 22 years old. I’m 25 and if you showed me video of some of the dumb shit I did 3 years ago I would hate myself for weeks. One year ago almost to the day he was playing the COLLEGE football championship. He’s an “adult”, but not really. That doesn’t excuse his actions, but with his apology there’s an obvious desire to improve and you have to respect that.

Yeah I acknowledged his apology in my initial comment

College students aren’t children. Former college students most definitely aren’t.

I’m 24, you sound dumb as hell if one of my friends was crying like a little bitch about anything I’d have to stop communicating with them

Lmao crying doesn’t make you weak, but keep up that “alpha male” attitude behind your phone screen weirdo.

And I had my daughter at 20 and had to grow up.

Don't give me age as an exuse when North of 20. I don't accept it

He’s living a different life than you. Sorry you couldn’t wrap it up properly and had a child that forced you to mature. Hope your daughter is doing well, and I hope that when she is 22 and makes a mistake you will help her.

What difference does his life make? 20 and over need to buck up and be adults. He is an immature little boy

Did you see the video of him leaving the stadium? If not we don't have much to talk about

WoobaLoobaDoobDoob t1_j3r7wze wrote

He was mad at himself, as he should’ve been. He wasn’t cussing out the referee’s.

Did you see his public apology on Twitter? Did you see that he reached out to the Lions’ trainer on his own and apologized to him directly? If not then we don’t have much to talk about.

Did you watch his body language? It was that of a kid knowing they messed up and throwing a private temper tantrum. How his shoulders were slumped, how he walker, how he hit the wall, how he did that fist shake thing that sometimes comes with a foot stomp (he didn't stomp his foot though).

He was throwing a temper tantrum yes, he was mad at himself and that shows maturity, but save the tantrum for the locker room and away from cameras

“kid knowing they messed up” no shit. He was in the tunnel, he didn’t take his shirt off and throw up peace signs to the crowd bro.

Your back on this? Why do I care? He is an immature little bitch.

End of story for me. Nothing your say will change that opinion, so why waste your or my time?

Kids are crying because they're mad they got in trouble. Quay was crying because he realized he fucked up and was distraught over it.

It's a huge difference.

sdurs t1_j3sgn98 wrote

Those are literally interchangeable things. You could switch quays name for kids and it would be the exact same.

mavajo t1_j3shpvw wrote

No, they're not interchangeable. One shows accountability, the other doesn't. If you can't tell the difference there then you're not equipped to have this conversation.

sdurs t1_j3siazj wrote

What accountability are you referring to? Mouthing words in a tunnel? Or crying because you were caught doing something wrong?

−3

mavajo t1_j3sjq1b wrote

It was obvious to anyone with emotional intelligence that he was breaking down because he was mad at himself for making a stupid mistake - not because he was mad at being punished. And that was confirmed when he stated that exact thing in his apology.

If you can't tell the difference between those two things, that's your problem, not mine. And it would also be kind of ironic, since you're criticizing Walker for his emotional immaturity while you're right there with him.

I don't think someone who takes personal digs at someone during discourse should be lecturing in maturity. Not once have I made this about you

mavajo t1_j3tounu wrote

Your emotional maturity is germane to your ability to evaluate and interpret the emotions of others.

Being mad at yourself for fucking up is the literal opposite of being mad at someone else because you got caught.

I haven't seen a child push an athletic medic before. So in that sense, children are better.

Quay walker scored a 9 on the wonderlic which puts his iq at severe learning disability levels. He is very likely about as mature as a child of around 6 or 7 years old. It explains why he acts the way he does and honestly I’m not sure it’s safe for him or the people around him if he keeps playing a professional sport.
