He says what he’s thinking, which is the same as what many of us are thinking. The main difference is he actually says it while we all mostly keep these things to ourselves. I wish more guys could be genuine like Sean is. He isn’t ashamed of who he really is & he’s also not embarrassed to express his emotions. See guys, this is an example of a real MAN.!!

    Sean, you’re giving that guy that works in a ditch and hates his job just a little glimpse of happiness for 25 minutes on a Saturday night. For those 25 minutes you’re not a shitty person and you’re not working in a ditch that hates his job. You’re just a dude that is watching another dude throw hands and love what he’s doing. You give those people a bit of happiness.

    I'm 3rd generation Iron worker. We can't even keep track of all the buildings we have built. I've torn down buildings my grandfather built. If your child goes to school in my area there is a 90% chance my family built that school. We also go to the food bank and rarely have hot water or electricity. Have licenses but can't afford a car or insurance. Have to rent due to a dump of a house being valued at $400,000. Sean actually understands this and so much respect to the guy for not putting himself on a podium.

      Wow. We’ve officially become too accepting and inclusive. 😅🤷‍♂️

    This man has shown me that you are not a failure in this world if you’re doing you’re job and taking care of you’re kids and making the best you can …. Respect to you Sean

    I have never seen a more down to earth and relatable champion interview in my life. Out of any sport.
