Everybody knows how it feels to have a bad day. There can be a series of events on those days when nothing seems to go your way or maybe there was just one really bad moment that ruined your whole day. Whatever the case may be, it is something that every person in one way or another can relate to. The people in this video probably had bad days after either a serious dose of embarrassment or in other cases physical pain.
There is something inside all of that at first does not want to laugh at the expense of others but we almost always eventually end up laughing anyway. Embarrassment fades and injuries can heal but a good laugh can brighten your day and maybe even prevent a “Bad Day.”
This video includes not only athletes, but also fans, bystanders, and even reporters or anchors doing something funny set to the song “Bad Day” by Daniel Powter. It is entertaining when we are reminded that not even professional athletes are perfect on the field all the time. It shows their human side, which fans can often forget because athletes are so easily idolized. That has shifted slightly recently now that fans can be involved in almost all aspects of a sports icon’s life, even the worst parts. But, nevertheless, we still enjoy seeing these bloopers and getting a good laugh out of a big mess up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Kbc-LSGvIAgain, everybody has bad days, but this video shows a different type of bad day. In most cases these people were frustrated and angry, for whatever reason, and decided to take their anger out on water coolers, each other, and even fans. Maybe if these people had laughed a little more that day their anger would not have escalated so quickly. It is definitely more entertaining to watch accidental embarrassment as opposed to purposeful and uncontrolled anger, but there is still something delightful to this video as well. Maybe it is the fact that these people too are embarrassing themselves, but they are doing so in a way that they could have had control over, if they had chosen to do so at least. They are making fools of themselves by giving in to their heightened emotions that sports, so often, do such a good job of bringing out in people.
I would argue that I would rather be on a video entitled “Bad Day” that depicted people having embarrassing accidents as opposed to a video entitled “Top 10 Angry Moments in Sports.” It is easy to laugh at yourself, even after an extremely embarrassing moment, but it can be hard to escape the fact that you have a very short temper and are prone to physical violence just because things aren’t going your way. So, next time you feel like you are having a bad day remember that the best medicine may be to find a way to make yourself laugh. Find a funny sports video or crack some jokes with a friend, but try not to throw any punches because that will just make everyone’s day even worse.
