context: "arrrrrgh, my groin!"
  -george c. scott >
  
  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 >

  more like r/imanoccupationaltherapist >
  
  That is definitely one of the opinions I have ever heard. >
  
  Fractured penis head. Unless its something like this, its over my head. >
  
  hahahaha (and ouch) >
  
  Something tells me you're the kind of person that enjoys cock and balls torture. >
  
  human anatomy is endlessly fascinating >
  
  Because probably 90% of those watching football have no idea what an adductor or pectineus muscle is. >
  
  so they should wallow in ignorance? they didn’t know what an ACL was some time ago…they all have google. make them smarter, don’t dumb it down! >
  
  You're talking people watching football. These are not rocket scientists. You can bet that if they started using medical terminology people would be bitching in droves. >
  
  plenty of intelligent people watching football. don’t assume the majority are uneducated. and it goes to my point, improve their knowledge rather than suppress it >
  
  God. Who cares,? LMAO. >
  
  you did enough to comment so >
  
  Not about the topic but enough to point out that you caring about it is silly. >
  
  kind of the point of this sub….are you new here >
  
  Oops. I didn't realize I was on r/caringaboutsillyshit. My bad. >
  
  nope you thought you were on r/imlostwheresmymommy >
  
  Well my mom died 3 years ago and what left of her is on my mantle. >
  
  and how proud she’d be of her little boy rn >
  
  She would. She'd be happy I'm not worried about knowing the exact injured body part an NFL player has so I can waste money on betting on NFL games. >
  
  and yet ashamed he can’t let the little things go. >
  
  Maybe because not everyone knows all the muscles? Saying groin lets the viewers know the area that was injured >
  
  but they don’t just say “shoulder injury”or “knee injury”… they’re very specific 
  maybe they’re uncomfortable with “that area” and just prefer the catch-all “groin injury”? idk >
  
  You know the groin isn't just the penis, right? Like women havr a groin too >
  
  that’s my point. tell us the muscle that was injured! 
  btw, groin injuries in football are invariably going to be on men so the argument that women have groins makes no sense here. >
  
  Was responding to the part where you said if it's the actual groin, then report the testicular torsion and whatnot >
  
  and that would happen to only men since “only men” play NFL football >
  
  It looks like you think a groin injury is specifically to the penis >
  
  in an NFL football game? no that’s my point. they need to be specific as to what the injury is and what muscle 
  did you read the entire post? >
  
  ‘he hurt his pee pee trying a new sex move when in dallas last weekend’ sounds too detailed for troy aikman to describe on monday nights >
  
  Because most NFL fans are too stupid to know what they are talking about >
  
  if they can predict plays and reads, i think they can handle a simple medical terminology. >
  
  Most nfl fans don’t do that. Also this just seems stupid >
  
  hence “unpopular opinion” >
  
  You’re not wrong >
  
  thanks !! >
  
  Haha have a great rest of your day!
