re: Skip Bayless says that he has “no sympathy” for Dak Prescott’s struggles with depression

Funny you talk about caring for mental health and yet you post this to someone on a message baked you know nothing about and have no clue the road he has traveled with mental health

---

It's not funny, the point simply stands based on YOUR posts in this thread.

So I find it hilarious all you heroes on this board just know how accepting everyone is in “the real world” about how mental health is accepted

---

I don't know how accepting you are, which is literally why I have 3 options on what's going on based on YOUR posts. I guess I could throw out a 4th option in that you're just trolling and don't believe anything you've said in this thread, but again logically speaking it IS one of those options.

Exactly, and that's you in this thread as it pertains to Dak Prescott, Wtf are you missing here? You're getting called out for 100% being the person you're talking about right now and have no logical retort to say you're not that person based on your posts in this thread.

Skip is an idiot and so are the ones agreeing with him. I've had friends and family take their lives because of depression. Anyone is susceptible to it, I don't care how rich or poor you are.

I had a good friend kill himself a couple years ago. I never in a million years would have thought he would have done something like that. He kept his depression well hid from his friends, his wife tried to get him to seek help but he wouldn't. He was a successful business owner and wasn't hurting for money.

From the very first posts you piece of shite I made it clear mental health is real, and Dak should feel no shame for how he feels

I simply pointed out its 100% the fricking truth he won’t get sympathy from a football standpoint, and the majority of people will in fact look at it as weakness

Look at my post history, look up every single time there is a school shooting or something of that nature, and I’m the first in there speaking of mental health and how badly this country drops the ball

quote:

Honest question, which part of Skip saying he has no sympathy for Dak and not that others won't have sympathy for Dak are you having trouble comprehending?

---

I watched the actual interview. I watched how he and Shannon reacted

And I took from it Skip in fact does have sympathy from a human to human standpoint on mental health and how it effects Dak

I took from it Skip is saying be doesn’t have sympathy from the standpoint of if it harms his ability to do his job, then it’s something that can’t be used as a crutch. And also skip pointed out the locker room won’t agree with him . And that much I agree with

If Skip gives no sympathy to him as a human being with depression, he can get fricked. But when I watch the 12 minute segment, and watch how both he and Shannon react to the conversation, I don’t get that feeling from him

And I also think Shannon would have jumped down his throat if he got that vibe from Skip as well

Seems like he was making the point depression is real, but it can’t be used as a crutch if you are in a postition of leadership. It’s harsh, but it’s true. Those spots you either deal with it, or find something else and get your personal life straight.

Considering he’s weathered his Mom dying of breast cancer and his brother committing suicide, I’d say he’s holding it together remarkably well.

frick off with that mentality.

You frick off

If your depression effects your job, you can’t use that as a crutch and expect your employer and people who depend on you to do your job to accept that

They should find you help, they should support you as a person, but at the end of the day it’s a job and if you can’t properly do it, sympathy shouldn’t be given to the point the point they accept less in the workplace

Not saying Dak will do that’s but that is how I took the direction of the conversation

quote:

---

Mental health and suicide is the most neglected and glaring weaknesses in this country from a health standpoint and it isn’t close, besides possibly obesity

---

You’re literally defending a guy bashing Dak for trying to do something about that.

Seems like you’re part of the problem.

Again, you’re the opposite of a mental health advocate. Do you realize that?

quote:

---

My brother committed suicide and that's affecting my ability in the workplace. Imagine thinking some saying, "too bad, you get no sympathy from me for that" and that does NOT make you a complete piece of shite.

Jesus Christ shel stop being a fricking hack

You should absolutely give them sympathy on a personal level. You should absolutely reach out and give them the support they need.

But your sympathy should not be expected to accept less on a professional level

[quote]In the future, don’t trot some woe is me bullshite about your concern over mental health in this country when you can’t even fricking muster sympathy for someone who has gone through what we has[/quote I’m out
