Originally posted by jumbleview There is one more aspect of this incident. It is reaction of Matthew Stafford. You see, he is almost national hero. Man, who lead the team to the Title. And his reaction to the fall of the person with whom he was seconds ago engaged in some conversation looks like scene from the bad comedy. I can only quote Nasim Taleb here: "Sports feminize men and masculinize women."
It's a bad, bad look for him. The video clearly shows him saying something like "Whoa!" or "Wow" as she falls, then he turns and walks away.
Meanwhile, his wife immediately rushes to the edge of the stage, looks over and then sits down on the edge of the stage (which is quite high). At least she
shows concern and for all we can tell, is
actually concerned, about the person who they had asked to take their photo.
I don't look at him as a national hero, exactly. But he's certainly a person with a fair amount of status and we might like to think he has certain qualities of decency. Unfortunately, a sports hero isn't necessarily always a decent human being as many have seem determined to prove for several years. Another cad in a long list of cads (no, that's not a Boomer word -- it's a pre-greatest gen word!)
