Here is a quote from an article in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal. The article discusses why the public should praise athletes who show emotion when getting injured rather than scorn them.

Sports has highflying, celebratory leaps into the air, frustration-filled slams of baseball bats and golf clubs, the championship dog-pile—these are the unchoreographed moments that make it compelling.
