Boxer Shakur Stevenson Breaks Down in Tears After Losing Gold Medal

I really appreciate Sugar Rays tweet. I could feel the sincerity. I understand this young mans pain, I can sympathize. To want something so bad, and to be so close. It just hurts. ??

I wish Sugar Ray knew the difference between LOST and LOSS. His message was lost in translation when I saw that mess, as I was at a loss for words.

?Lol–he is human Sandra! He just wanted to bring home a Gold–for his self, and our country, that’s all. A young black man doing something positive is always a positive. It’s ok to cry, to feel emotion.

BRENNNNNNNNNNN!
?Hey Boo!

And to top it all off now he shall be turned into a meme

He is only 19. He will appreciate his silver medal later in life. Congrats to him. He did a great job.
No words for his emotions. Everyone is brought up different and he seems to have put a lot on this journey. God Bless him.

Society today doesn’t allow for honesty. We are told to hide our emotions and to be strong. We aren’t supposed to be transparent.

I say let it out. When you work so hard and a Jude is sitting there and has not walked in your shoes tell you that you wasn’t good enough to win…….it hurts, I mean it really hurts. I glad he was man enough to cry

Awwww

Hopefully he still have faith in himself. There will be a next time.

Yeah, the Olympics are the foundation to your career. You win a medal, you’re a shoe in. Win gold, you write your own ticket while building a lane of your own. His focus should be career, not the medal. I too hope he keeps faith in himself and build a career. The boxer that cried.

I’m really starting to hate your commentary. He’s 19. Do you even know his story? He wanted to win so he could go pro and provide for his family. He’s an extraordinary talent and he will go far- have you no heart, no empathy? How many athletes have we seen cry? Neymar is a global superstar and he broke down in tears after the historic win. You could use some of Shakur’s ambition and pride- we all could. He has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of!

I know its wrong, but when I read the headline for this article and looked at the pic, I laughed.

I’ve cried after auditions. So I know if I was close to winning a gold medal and didnt I would be on the floor.
However, I was mad at the reporter for asking him that in the mist of his feelings but the reporter was giving him a chance to show the world he was proud. His handlers shouldve said, “questions later”.

You’re a cold hearted woman

Where’s the story of dump trump saying all African Americans are poor from poor neighborhoods poor schools

Exactly. Now if he was cheated out of the title, disqualified, or was coming home with nothing, that’s something to be distraught over. Other than that, you need to cut it!

Yes!!

I disagree. If medals of any denomination propelled American athletes,,,There wouldn’t be all the stories of those who can barely afford running cleats on the day of the Olympic Games…In fact, there’s an article that shows where several poorer nations reward their Olympic athletes with much more abundance than the USA. He wanted that medal to advance his career. Gold may not have allotted him to write his own ticket. It hasn’t for the man he lossed to. That’s his second gold in the last two Olympics, and yet we know nothing of him. I’ve cried for much less…I’m entitled to as is Shakur…

???

It’s Okay Young Man….#Work In Silence…Let Success Make The Tears…

My Personal Standpoint……….

Initially I thought Sugar Ray’s use of lost was his grammatical error. Then upon reading it again, I think he intended to substitute lost for loss because loss has a tone of death and consdolence. He lost a fight, he did not suffer a loss. Just my humble and sincere opinion.

He will be back and he will win the gold. I believe this. What an amazing young man he is.

Thank you. Your kind words have nearly wiped away many doubts that have plagued me this week??

Seasoned boxing journos were stunned as Stevenson screamed and wailed inconsolably after the match.Today’s men are not expected to “man up” or display their masculinity. Especially now after President Barack Obama, an LGBT rights advocate, declared himself a feminist.
~~~~~~~~~~~
He screamed & wailed? Men aren’t “manning up”? The President…is a who? Hey, on the bright side you have a cool name, dude ;).

Po Thang, I just had a hearty chuckle. He just big ole 19…that still learning to be an adult. Its okay to cry.

Big ass baby

This is a perfect summary. What I most appreciate is the love and support he is shown by men in his sport who paved the way for him. That’s the most endearing part of this write-up.

More of us need to show support to more of us in times where support is most critical. Imagine how powerful we would be as a collective.

*hugs*

In all honesty, I’d probably cry too. My tears wouldn’t be for not winning a particular medal, but the fact that I’d bust my a$$ day in, day out for years to get to THIS point & for things to not go the way I expected. There are no guarantees in life, so what if he doesn’t make it back in another 4? That has to be tough on all of them either placing lower or not all. Vashti Cunningham was upset and Wilhem Belocian (hurdler) was in TEARSSS & damn bended knees for a false start dq. Swimmer Miguel Duran had TEARRRS, SNOT & ALL before later being allowed to swim. Sports ain’t easy…I KNOW THAT MUCH.

Shiiid. Carmelo Anthony crine now! ???

Yes Men cry too. I was so touched by the Puerto Rican runner disqualified from his Olympic final for a false start. Years of training and a heartbreaking result.

Wait on it…
Wait on it…
Waaait on it.
You stopped in the wrong blog. ?

Thank you for this! I did M-B testing years ago and was determined to be an INFJ. I will definitely be reading this.

That not ad he will pay for on this site. He gonna loose, because he is a looser.

Don’t you dare.

???

poor you well just copy n paste it..lol

Sandra or Shakur?

Soooo now that the Olympics are over what is a sports junkie to do? ?

I know I’m not suppose to cry but…???

:WAIL:

I wonder if people know that the Bible speaks about the so-called olympics…..a greek custom that got Israel( The Chosen) in trouble with God..

They say when a people don’t know their history, they repeat the same mess that got them messed up in the first place.

OUR PEOPLE SHOWED UP & SHOWED OUT! Proud of the United States as a whole for a 100+ medals, but to see soooooo many African-Americans straight dominate & place high from the mat, beams, bars, courts, tracks, pools, fields and even the ring…Shakur…damn, that was AMAZING (non pretty cry & ALL)! Wave that flag proudly tonight, Simone.

A sports addict too? Who you wit in football since that’s the next one up? I’m biting my nails HOPING you won’t say a team that rhymes with Squeeler (intentional), LOL.

Thank you!

BEAUTIFUL!

??Byooo…Byooo?? ~A Baby Freebush~

No feelers around here. We k

Eagles??

Oookaaay. ??? At least it wasn’t “candyass”.

Hope all is well with you. ?

Just watched the interview looks like he’s laughing ???

Where does the bible speak about the Olympics I need to read this????

Why judge him though? Like, why be so negative? Black folks are always under the scope. Dang. Can’t even cry LMBO.

Exactly. He should have been dignified like Allyson Felix. His behavior is disgusting. A tear or two is one thing…but this toddler behavior is shameful.

He won a silver medal at the age of 19. He doesn’t seem to understand that showing good sportsmanship is how you progress. What company would want a cry baby to sponsor their product? In life we have challenges. We all stumble but you have to stand up and move forward. I hope he can get himself together and apologize for such raw immature behavior.

Omg…

Keep that fire, chief, and don’t leave it up to a decision next time.

Read 2nd Maccabees Chapter 4 Verses 7 to 17

…this was the time period that our forefathers ( the Israelites) were living in greece

Things to note:

1. The Book of Maccabees is in the Apocrypha (the books that were removed out of the Bible, so that the Chosen…us…would not be able to trace VERY IMPORTANT HISTORY that is needed to explain the New Testament writings AND to see that we are repeating the same mistakes that our forefathers made!

2. The Book of Maccabees was named after a black man called Judah Maccabees (if you google, they portray him as a edomite/arab looking…but we all know that’s a LIE)

2. I strongly suggest reading the KJV version with concordance…..you can google the 2Maccabees 4:7-17 (KJV)

3. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get at me, or better yet, contact these brothers—>Israelunite dot org

matter-of-fact everytime I see that abominable ‘flag’ with those colors all I see is:

Color white= their fake color
Color red= their REAL color (the Bible says they are RED people)

Color Blue/White stars= KKK stars in Cops uniform

???????
You’re wrong as hell…I can’t stop laughing at this shit. You are wrong as pure hell! ???

The difference is he’s a man. She’s woman.

You’re right, he is too emotionally fragile. What sponsor wants an ungrateful entitled brat promoting their product. This embarrassing moment will follow him throughout his career.

How is 19 a man? He’s a teenager!

Wow! I miss that those judges don’t play

Ima check out the KJV of the bible; thanks for the info!

Hi. I read the article and wow?. Described me almost dead on, the good, bad and the ugly.?. I have bookmarked that website. Thanks again for info. Oh, what does having a Pisces moon mean?

No pain…No gain

I love that pat on the back. It made me smile.

Why am I giggling at the though of this grown BOY crying cause he lost like a 7 year old?
Poor baby. Real men cry.

The lack of compassion of the NBCs news media that is suppose to be oh so Liberal and oh so supportive of Americans. The cruelest thing to me was the reporter who did not know to just back off. He kept pressing the poor kid and kept the cameras rolling…. The American news media including NBC that so many people of color love so much is such a Nightmare. As long as they keep pretending.

I can understand his pain. Especially working so hard to get where is. It’s completely understandable to be able to show your emotions. I’d rather see him show his true self than to hide it.

He is a true champion in my book because even though he lost, he gave the other fighter props and handled the way a true competitor should.

This young man has a bright future ahead of him.

Good luck young man!

acting like a fe-male…he needs to man up

acting like a fe-male…he needs to man up

Scary to a T now I have embraced the ugly or at least what I thought was ugly with my type… Infj are extremely rare for a reason …. Could you imagine a bunch of our sensitive azzes everywhere … Chile intense lol??

He needed that money!!

You basically a Pisces …lol….. Your true nner self…. Your sun sign is what reflects to the world… … The moon reflects your soul…. Deep thoughts your inner true self in a sense….. Your no OK n sign is very important ….pisces moon tend to be even more sensitive than Pisces suns…. Read up on it….

enslave, subdue, and or suppress? (I had to look this up)
I feel woman have come a long way – and yes we may have many impostors but “we” as “real” woman can never be conquered unless we allow it to happen. A man in a dress can never take our place.

What are you talking about???? We could discuss this all day and all night long, but I always say that people that are in management positions CANNOT be INFJ. They just can’t because I am very passionate. When I am happy you’re going to know it, and when I am pissed you are going to know it. For example, I when I can stomach watching BBWLA, I am like you can tell Shaunie has that management personality because she remains so calm, and unbothered (even if she is). I will never forget my ex-manager said she was on a con-call with executive management and they did not know that she logged on yet and she said one of the directors were just lying on her and talking really crazy stuff about her, and she said it so matter of factly. Like I would have been ready to cause WWIII. Just out of curiosity, have you ever the DISC testing?

Infjs make excellent managers imo … They are very empathetic and intuitive …. I hide a lot period in general although I am very cut and dry…. My surface is just that…. In a work environment I adjust and try not to be figured …. I blend or get ghost … But good managers though…. But if they are not in management they can get their feelings hurt quite a bit…. The average wouldn’t know trust not for me anyways….

Never doubt your brilliant social consciousness, and wit.

I learned long ago the level of person’s intelligence when they resort to name calling. Reading this comment from you in response to something else I posted, you’re not making any points, you’re name calling. I can tell in your life, you have a defeatist attitude, I don’t. Never have. Take from this post whatever joy you’re getting by trolling and throwing insults. Let me go in my corner and cry because someone Idk or will never meet couldn’t debate a point with basic common sense. Instead, she took the route of poking at non-existent flaws. Sorry you hate your life. Say a prayer??

Tell ya what… Find the dude and tell him that to his face. And when you get feeling back in your face you’ll shut the h up next time…

@realsandrarose:disqus I agree wholeheartedly. It went downhill when the whole “trophies for everyone” attitude and era hit. Losing build character and teaches you to keep working and never give up. NO ONE can win at everything or everytime
