Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

From Canada, an article about "The ACL Club."

Couple of thoughts: lots of regurgitation of the basic "information" out there. I use quotation marks because nothing is actually backed with facts. Even the "prevention techniques" mentioned in the article seem to rely on anecdotal information to prove their effectiveness.

Also, I wonder about this statement: "And, unlike men's, female ACL injuries are usually not the result of a collision."

Is that actually true? Does someone out there have information on how ACL tears happen in men? (Tiger being the newest member of the "Club.")
