Female athletes in all sports have around five times greater chance of injuring an ACL than male athletes. I don’t think that will necessarily result in the death of women’s basketball, soccer, hockey, cricket, netball, etc.
Better preparation and training could reduce the incidence of ACL injuries marginally but it will always be higher for women. It’s an occupational risk and one that will become more acceptable as AFLW (and women’s sport generally) continues to flourish.
