Not only was the Cubs' World Series win freakin' incredible, but it just might do some good for breaking down gender norms.

Last night, numerous grown men exploded with tears as Game 7 concluded. And nothing. bad. happened.

The 2016 World Series proves that grown men openly weeping and showing their emotions is actually a good thing, and not something men should be afraid to do.
