The full quote from French reporter Maxime Aubin:

“Wemby’s too emotional.” “Wemby should stop crying.” “Wemby’s gay.”

Can we stop with the tired old clichés that treat emotions as a weakness, either in sports or in life in general?

I asked Wemby about why that is. Here’s his response:

“That’s a tough question. I think it’s first and foremost a fear of judgment. Like this feeling that you have to act a certain way, social codes, I guess. Personally, I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions.”
