Fidone benched

You don't lose athletic ability because of a ACL reconstruction. He lost development time because of injury not athletic ability.

Every injury is different. It is wildly ridiculous for you to say this as you dig your heels in on this point.

I hope that's edited for her sake. If you pull up the post her comment isn't there.

I had seen it as of a few hours ago.

A quick Google search informed me that His mom’s name is Jennifer - so it’s not his momma at least…

I've had two myself. it's not a muscle tear, it's a structural issue in the knee and once repaired there isn't an issue. People were way overhyping him before the injury and claiming the injuries took away athletic ability that was never there. He wasn't fast before the injuries. I think it's wildly ridiculous to claim he was great before he played a down and say that the only reason he isn't great now is because of injuries. Orthopedic surgery has come a long ways since Gayle Sayers, shoot it's come a long ways since I had mine reconstructed.

You are right every injury is different, but I didn't see a very different athlete before or after the injuries. He is what he is.

I don’t think I’m the one claiming he was destined for anything one way or the other. You are. Quite frankly I don’t give a fuck about Fidone.

It’s very interesting to know that no ACL injury or even two of them will ever affect another human’s athletic potential moving forward.

You don't lose athletic ability because of a ACL reconstruction..

A simple google search shows this to be wrong.

From the article:

“Despite outcome studies after ACLR in elite athletes showing a high return-to-sport rate, these studies also show that very few athletes are able to return to sport at the same level of performance. They also show that those athletes who undergo ACLR have careers that are more short-lived in comparison to those without injury.”
