I was trying to watch ESPN but that over emotional lady with the red hair and the over emotional lady with the blond hair ruined his last send off by crying the whole segment
I felt they made it more about them then sager
I felt it was unprofessional because in each show there were multiple people that knew him on the show speaking of simalar good times but never broke character
Could have been an attempt to get emotional response from viewers.
but because she is a woman its an extra bad look because she is a part of a group that struggles for equality..If your saying you can do a mans job and call sports and they dont cry you dont cry…
I have a wife daughters and nieces all are taught not to cry or be emotional…have emotions but dont let them guide your actions..Im not a monster I would cry if my family died but not at work.
