Ok, Gronk is another poor Basterd that had his ACL torn by a low tackle. I don't think it was intentional, but Gronk is done this year. ACL injuries are up this year, 40 to this point in the season compared to 32 for the season last year. Another example of unitended consequences. As a defensive player, you really have no choice but to go low. So, know we'll have more crippled ex NFL players than concussed ones. I've had a few concussions playing, they're not pleasant. Never had an ACL blown out. I'm sure most players would rather have their bell rung than tear their knee ligaments. Another point, these low hits are not penalized or fined, there will be more. The NFL will be flag football soon.
Your thoughts if any?
