Reply to comment by sdurs in Quay Walker is seen crying after being ejected for shoving a member of the Detroit Lions’s athletic team. by globe_explorer245

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
