titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted September 11, 2020 On the one hand, yes, skip bayless is an ass hole. On the other hand, I'm sick of the celebration of weakness as heroism. I don't care about it either. Everyone has their issues and struggles. There's something to be said for the old days of "men just stfu and carry on" attitude. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I give Dak credit for talking about his experience with it. In my life, the best leaders were people that you could relate to. Stfu and carry is the worst approach to depression. People dealing with depression need to seek help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they prefer the days when people use to keep their depression to themselves and you didn’t know they had any problems until they killed themselves.

People dealing with depression need to seek help. I'm aware. I've had my issues with depression myself. I guess my point is, it seems like everybody you meet now wants to tell you all about what ever problems make them a special little snowflake. Anxiety, depression, gender disphoria, gluten allergy, lactose intolerance, veganism... Its become like youre just not cool unless you have some problem you can whine about. Im not criticizing dak for saying whatever he likes. I'm just sick of sports becoming a womanish whine fest. Like the draft coverage where we get to hear all about the deadbeat dads and such. I don't care. I'm here for the focking football is my point I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think thats more social media than real life, though. Im talking more about people, specifically men, that truly suffer from depression. Suicide is higher among men, in part, because we are taught to not show weakness. The stfu and carry on approach leads to suicide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dak speaking about being depressed after his brothers death is not the same as crying about how horrible it is to be anything. He suffered a great loss and spoke about how it affected him. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crying about it is fine but dwelling on it and always whining about it, discussing it is going to actually make one depressed even more. There is no getting over it.

Most people lose grandparents and parents as they get older. Dak lost his mom 7 years ago and now his brother. Those are tragic events that most people dont experience until they are much older. The guy just spoke about how it affected him. I just dont understand how thats a problem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 823 Posted September 11, 2020 Bayless's point was Prescott is the QB of a prestigious NFL team, carrying an organization of players/coaches/owner/fans on his back. Act like it. Favre played the night his father died. Dak misses numerous practices dealing with depression over his brother's suicide. You don't work for the post office.

Hardcore troubadour 12,961 Posted September 11, 2020 I’ve learned through experience, unfortunately, that many people can’t grasp how devastating someone you care about killing themselves is on a person. I stopped getting mad when I hear ignorant statements about it. Maybe I would have said the same dumb things without personal experience. I forgive those that don’t know.

The guy just spoke about how it affected him. I just dont understand how thats a problem. I agree that everyone deals with it differently. Some face reality and accept it. Others dwell on it, roll on the ground and cry daily. Best thing to do is mock and ridicule people who won't stop crying. At that point they get angry. If one is angry guess what. They are no longer depressed. Cured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawkeye21 1,924 Posted September 11, 2020 Everyone handles loss differently and everyone has different levels of mental health. Certain events can affect each of us differently. It’s easier for some people to deal with certain events than it is others. You can’t expect everyone to act the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
