The Crying Jordan meme has become 'problematic' because it mocks masculine vulnerability

Turns out there's an element of flawed masculinity at play. You have a masculine star who expresses vulnerability, and people simultaneously mock and celebrate that. So you think you're having some harmless fun on the Internet? Turns out you're a sexist, and you're basically saying guys can't cry.

The take itself is a satirical summary of someone else's argument, but the 'correctness' of whether it became 'problematic' is subjective.

The Cavaliers are officially dead after Game 2 of the 2016 NBA Finals

The Cavaliers are officially dead. I feel confident about this time. I've done this before, and I had to eat some crow... because the Cavaliers have been blown out now two times and it looks like [it's over].

The Cavaliers famously came back from a 3-1 deficit to win the 2016 NBA Finals.

Cavaliers fans should be rooting for Kevin Love to miss time with his concussion

Kevin Love is seemingly concussed. And if you're a Cavs fan, are you rooting for Love to miss time? I think you are... because he's such a bad fit for this series and playing anyone on defense that I might want Kevin Love not around.

Love missed Game 3 (a Cavs win) but returned and played a key role in Game 7, specifically a famous defensive stop on Steph Curry.

LeBron James is likely rooting for Kevin Love to miss time with a concussion so he has an excuse for losing

I feel like LeBron's probably rooting for Kevin [Love] to be out with a concussion because that way he's got something to point his finger at and be like, 'we weren't healthy.' He's got a little excuse there. If you're LeBron, you're making middle notes of all the excuses along the way that you can use.

The Cavs actually played better without Love in Game 3, but they eventually won the title with him, making the 'excuse' narrative moot.

LeBron James will finish his career by returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers

LeBron's decision is looming. I think it's going to be Cleveland. Do you guys agree? I mean I think he's gotta go to Cleveland. I think that makes the most sense.

The final destination of LeBron in 2026 free agency is pending in this episode's timeline.

I was wrong — Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are actually dating

I'm going to say I was wrong. I do think they actually are dating now. Don't need the P and V, they got married so I'm going to count it. I'm going to put it on the board.

The wedding was a confirmed public event in the transcript context.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are going to be married forever.

I think they're gonna make it. I think they're gonna be married for a very long time. I think they're married forever. They're gonna be married forever.

The couple just got married in this fictional timeline, so the outcome of their marriage lasting 'forever' remains pending.
