O'BRIEN INJURY - JOHNSTON CLAIMS IT HAD LITTLE TO DO WITH TURF SURFACE

According to the Globe & Mail, the latest Ronnie O'Brien injury occurred during Toronto's Tuesday practice at BMO Field. Sir Mo has come out with the company line stating that the brand new field turf surface had absolutely nothing to do with the injury. O'Brien apparently made a silly tackle on an unnamed player. I for one am not convinced it was as simple as Mo has suggested. As Marco Reda suggests in the same article, playing on a proper grass surface will always be preferred to playing on plastic.

The questions, not answered in the article are - Who was O'Brien targeting with his tackle? and why?
