Pouting in the Playoffs

This is a picture of the Green Bay Packers vs. the Chicago Bears game in the winter of 2010. Jay Cutler, the quaterback for the Chicago Bears, earlier in the game was reported "injured" and would not return back into the game. Instead of sitting looking as if he was in pain on the sidelines, Cutler walked around the sidelings looking as if he was moping or pouting. This sparked a huge debate on all the sports radio and TV shows covering the playoffs. Everyone was talking about how Cutler's "body language" looked as if he "didn't care" about the game.

As you can see in this picture, Cutler is walking around with his head down, not cheering on his team in what was their biggest game of the season. This is showing emotion through nonverbal communication at it's finest. We can't hear what Jay Cutler is saying or read what he's thinking but the body language that he is sending out reads nonverbally that he could care less about the game.

Well, the Bears ended up losing that game and the Packer's went on to win the Super Bowl. Let's just say Jay Cutler hasn't been the most loved player in Chicago since that game. Anyone remember this game? Non-verbal communication at it's best!
