Comments Thread For: Keyshawn Davis Wins Silver Medal, Fights Bigger Battle For Mental Health Awareness

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

After the decision was read and Andy Cruz was declared Olympic gold medalist in the lightweight division, he broke into a Michael Jackson dance routine in the middle of the ring before doing the "rock-a-baby" motion popularized by NBA star Russell Westbrook. It was part celebration, part taunting of his vanquished opponent Keyshawn Davis.

I'm not one to hold anyone back who has mental issues in normal life, but in boxing u get punched in the head for a job, that mixed with a severe case of depression/ anxiety is not a good mix so I believe anyone who has mental health issues and is in boxing is in the wrong profession... Also Russell Westbrook did not bring the rock a baby celebration into pop culture, that was done in 1994 at the US world cup by beteto first, u would think yanks would know that since it was held in there country but oh well

Everybody seems to want to be an advocate for something these days. If you're an athlete be that. No need to be a spokesperson or try to be more than you are. It's getting a bit old and honestly unbelievable that all these athletes are using the same phrases and terminology and all jumping onboard what seems to be the hot button topic these days. People listen to narratives that something is wrong with them long enough and start to believe it

I wish Keyshawn the best. He had a dream and came up a little short. At least he gave it his best. Not everyone can say that.

A new excuse for losing...Mental Health. If you're not up for it, drop out and work on yourself, but don't use it as an excuse if you proceed. Ya came up short, but be proud of the silver.

I really don’t think he’s doing that.

I get why people are frustrated reading this, and in my opinion it’s just a bad article, which isn’t Keyshawn’s fault. A lot of articles tell back stories about fighters, and “mental health” is the latest hot buzzword. This article repeats it again and again and I think some people are unfortunately channeling their annoyance toward Keyshawn Davis, when really they’re tired of having that word rammed down their throat.
