When did we — as a society — decide it was OK to videotape our anguished NFL-loving children and put it on the Internet?

First, there was the sobbing girl devastated by the Vikings’ ineptitude, then the despondent boy who had an impressive perspective on both the Jets and the AFC playoff picture.

Now, we meet a distraught young Eagles fan named Christopher, who has a guttural reaction to the precision of Patriots star Tom Brady.

In all three cases, parents seize on the emotional vulnerability of their children in hopes of YouTube fame.

We understand we are complicit in this ugly activity by posting the videos. So this is the last one. Stop torturing your kids. It won’t get you on NFL.com anymore.

Unless it’s really funny.
