The League has spoken: we’re all just a bunch of crybabies

It was a sad, sad week for the League. This week, the League was asked what moments in pop culture history bring them to tears, and we confirmed that we’re all a bunch of crybabies (and I thought it was just me!).

• Someone needs to tell TL at Flashlights are Something You Eat that there’s no crying in baseball.
• Shezcrafti wells up with sorrow in the Swamp of Sadness.
• It takes an artsy Academy award winning short film to get Bubba Shelby blubberin’.
• The Green Plastic Squirtgun got me reaching for the hankie with his picks.
• The Man Who Stares at Toys cries as often as I do–he even cries at video games!
• Rediscover the 80’s brings up  two of the most emotionally-packed scenes from the 80’s.
• Heath Ledger brings My Eidetic Memory to tears, but not it’s not the movie you might think.
• Rob at Action Figure Chat gets a little animated when he gets emotional.
• Jamie at Whatever I Think Of reminds us all about that Sarah McLachlan commercial.
• Ashley at Life with Fandom cries over a dying robot.
• Carl and Ellie always bring Tommy at Tophat Sasquatch to tears.
• Brian is anything but Cool & Collected after watching movies about fathers and sons. 
• Adamotomy says he needs to be liquored up before he cries at the movies. Riiight.
• Dex cried when he saw a Star Wars movie — and it wasn’t the prequels!
• Apparently, Q the Adult is one of the few League members who reads.
• Iok at That Figures likes a good speech or two.
• Nate at Thought Bubbles has a tear-jerking top five list.
• ….and finally, Kevin at Team Hellions just makes the cut with his two tear-inducing moments.

Some other things that caught my eye this week on League member’s sites:
