    I’ve seen this reposted at least 3 times now, and it bothers me each time because we have no idea the story behind it. We only know what’s written down, we don’t even know if the person who wrote the caption witnessed the event. Was it fragile masculinity? Perhaps?

      I’m pretty sure punching a wall because your fantasy football league is losing is an unhealthy way of processing anger.

      For all we know, guy had just received some horrible/devastating news.

      The assumptions leading to both the ‘framing’ act and the gleeful posting of it on social media are just a manifestation of thinly-veiled misandry.

        Is it normal to you to see people punch walls when they get devastating news?

        I’d rather think maybe someone tripped and fell into it if we’re looking for charitable ideas.
