Nobody is "toughing it out" and playing through a torn ACL, and this is why I hate sometimes trying to talk football with people who never played sports before. Most injuries are just part of the sport and have nothing to do with toughness or durability. If your joints/ligaments bend sharply in a wrong way on a hit, it's a wrap. Doesn't f**king matter who you are.
For bar trivia purposes QB Philip Rivers played a playoff game on a torn ACL
