context: "arrrrrgh, my groin!"

  Barney's movie had heart but football in the groin had a football in the groin. >
  
  Why do you need to know the exact injury? >
  
  sports betting is affected by injuries. If you know how serious it is, then you can predict when the player will be back and the teams odds increase or decrease accordingly. why do you think they report injuries at all? >
  
  Players have SOME level of privacy doesn't over ride your want to gamble. >
  
  obviously they don’t if every little injury is reported. They’re commodities are this point >
  
  Well that's a healthy and mature attitude that makes me think arguing with you about this is going to be worth my time. >
  
  am i wrong? whole cities are made or broken by having a football team. >
  
  Then why stop at injuries? You as a betting fan should have access to their credit report and be able to search their houses for any trip hazards. >
  
  Privacy reasons and also some viewers at home may not know the actual name of the injury >
  
  why is an ACL injury considered more private than a “groin injury” ? 
  why do we assume the viewers can’t figure it out in their own? >
  
  There are a multitude of muscles where they would consider the groin injury. Same goes with hip and ankle. If you really want to learn so you can have an edge in gambling or anything else. Take an anatomy or biomechanics class. Otherwise it’s just going to be another word. >
  
  point taken >
  
  You called people commodities, because you think your armchair medical diagnosis might affect your ability to accurately predict gambling odds?  
  Did you play football yourself? Perhaps as the tackling dummy? >
  
  i didn’t start posting injury reports . thay was the NFL and broadcasters because they know it affects the outcome and billions are being spent every week. the players are def treated like commodities >
  
  When they see an ankle injury, they call it an an ankle injury until they know exactly what went wrong. Same for any other part of the body...when they KNOW it is an ACL or rotator cuff or whatever, they are specific then.
  Sorry but they do not know exactly WHAT muscle in the groin area has been injured, so they are as specific as they possibly can be. >
  
  and when they do know they still don’t specify. an ankle sprain is suddenly classified as high or low, grade 2 etc. Groin injury remains groin injury
