Top 10 Male Crying Moments

Top 10 Male Crying Moments - According to American Foundation for Suicide Prevention:
Although women attempt suicide more often, men complete suicide at a rate four times that of women.
  Between the mid-1950s and the late 1970s, the suicide rate among U.S. males aged 15-24 more than tripled (from 6.3 per 100,000 in 1955 to 21.3 in 1977).
  The suicide rates for men rise with age, most significantly after age 65.
  The rate of suicide in men 65+ is seven times that of females who are 65+.
They say these are all because men refuse to let their emotions out. So I salute these men.

10. Michael Schumacher

After winning the 2000 Italian Grand Prix, Michael just equaled Ayrton Senna’s record of 41 Grand Prix victories. Senna was Schumacher’s fiercest competitor and idol, who died tragically during a race.
Michael Schumacher got so emotional, he couldn’t stop crying making everyone feel uncomfortable.

9. Jason Mesnick

Jason is one of the guys in The Bachelor.
You know what his problem was? He had to choose who to give the final rose to.

8. Brett Favre

During his “retirement” speech, Brett Favre starts breaking down within the first 20 seconds. However, he came back. Effectively making his break down a little humorous now.

7. Iker Casillas

If y’all didn’t see this one, you’re missing half of your day. It was one of the most entertaining moments in World Cup.
Iker is the captain of the Spanish team and was criticized the whole time for “not doing a lot”. So when they won the world cup, it sent him into a very emotional state. It so happen that the anchorwoman who is to interview the whole team is his girlfriend. So when it was his turn, he found himself unable to control his emotions. He ended up kissing his girlfriend on screen.

6. Chris Brown

The world has been castigating Brown for what he did to Rihanna. Anyone who lays a hand on a woman, deserves worse.
Anyway, he was asked to sing a Michael Jackson song, Man in the Mirror, but in the middle of it he found himself overly emotional. He broke down and cried through the rest of the song.

5. Jon Stewart

After 9/11, John Stewart’s went back on the Daily Show. Being a comedy show, I didn’t expect much but what he delivered turned out to be one of the most touching, most sincere and most heartfelt address to a nation.
Stewart came off as a class act and as a man who truly loves his country.

4. Andre Agassi

The 2006 US Open was Agassis’ last tournament as he is forced to retire after a severe injury. The crowd gave Agassi a four minute standing ovation. He said, “The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn’t say is what it is I’ve found.”

3. Walter Cronkite

Cronkite, the famous anchorman for CBS, had a reputation for being cool and composed. But he is perhaps best remembered for the moment he lost a bit of that composure and captured a nation’s heartbreak. On Nov. 22, 1963, Cronkite interrupted “As the World Turns” to break the news that President John F. Kennedy had been shot. At this point, the media was unaware if the wounds had been fatal.
After making the announcement on air that Kennedy didn’t survive the shooting, Cronkite valiantly tried to keep from crying. He swallowed hard as his eyes grew moist and his voiced filled with emotion as he said his famous closing lines, “That’s the way it is.”

2. Kevin Garnett

This is how you leave a team you served for for 13yrs every game. Unlike Lebron Garnett stuck it out with his franchise even when things got so bad. He never did say anything bad nor slammed anyone. He went to every game with his heart on the court.

1. Anderson Cooper

Anderson has become the poster boy for a more emotive style of covering the news. Cooper cut short his vacation in Croatia to be in New Orleans as Hurricane Katrina hit. Cut off from his producers for several days, Copper made his way through the city, taking in the death and destruction.
On the fourth day of coverage, Cooper interviewed Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu who felt she had to mention names of other politicians and Cooper slammed her on air saying, “I don’t hear that. It’s hard to hear that when you see dead people on the streets.
He then started talking to a group of desperate-looking evacuees, one of which was holding an American flag. Cooper’s emotions, which he had been bubbling at the surface for days, spilled over and tears ran down his face as the camera rolled.
