From Hillary Clinton, to Marion Jones, and most recently Terrell Owens, all of these public figures have displayed emotions for a variety of reasons.
Why are tears seen as weakness?
As humans we are all vulnerable to emotions, if not something is wrong. You'd either been hurt that bad in the past or you don't have any tear ducts.
I'd rather have a president tear up after hearing our country is under attack than just sitting there reading a book or coming up with some poetic prose to move people no where!
A mother shouldn't be sent to prison because she took steroids to win a gold medal for her country!
And only a great teammate would defend his quarterback after a big ass loss and feel it so much he gets emotional. Locker room cancers don't do that!
