Apparently we now need to investigate why women are getting ACL injuries....

Why the fuck make it a gender issue. My wife did her's skiing years back.

It's sport, people get injured.

It is somewhat of a gender issue in that female (ones with wombs) physiology is different so they are susceptible to knee injuries. I think their knees bend inwards or something because of hip structure.
i have a mate who coaches high level girls and he sees so many acl especially on astro turf.

Sorry I don’t understand why you’ve got a problem with this?

It’s a gender issue because women are 8x more likely to do an ACL than men.

There’s a few different theories as to why, but none have been conclusively proven.

Menstrual cycle was mentioned as a possible reason yesterday.....i mean,c'mon....just fuck off.

Oh is that what Arsenal are blaming now for dropping points? haha.

Shouldn’t it read that Tommy is ineligible to face his Grandparent club?

Aaah, but apparently it's the pitches they play on - they aren't up to the standard of the men's game. I can't help but think that it's an issue because we need to keep women's football on the front burner. Those who espouse the idea of the pitches being at fault forget that you often have men and youths playing on the same pitches without the number of ACL injuries. Just more bullshine to fill the click-chasers.

I wonder if us wanting Kovacic is linked to Philips, a few Chelsea fans have said online that he can play as a 6 if he needs too.
