A League of Their Own

Other sports and disciplines in which there is NO CRYING, according to a Google search: hockey, basketball, football, taekwondo, ninja, snowboarding, bocce, croquet, advertising, retail, business, law school, journalism, local politics, rock 'n' roll, the CIA, bass fishing, counterterrorism, Canadian Idol, cooking, science, court (specifically directed at Larry Seidlin), rook-piercing, and Senate confirmation hearings.

No one cries anymore, I guess. Thanks, Tom Hanks.
