Fixed. First quote sums it up perfectly. The term 'Sports hernia' is a misnomer.

The original Anthony Gardner. Incidentally, his Wikipedia page says:It's the tale of our year-long injured loan star Rodrigo all over again!

My comparison to a leg break was actually poor because a stress fracture is of course a 'break'. A sports hernia and a hernia are two different kinds of injury, and although one may lead to the other (i haven't seen any evidence proving this apart from Damon saying so) that doesn't mean you automatically have a hernia.
In fact its not even two its one! Contrary opinion.
And if it were truly a misnomer why does the term HERNIA persist?
Because it IS a hernia.
Answer that you beaut
During research for the master of Surgery Degree he developed an interest in wound healing which evolved into specific interest in soft tissue injuries and repair. In 1980 he recognised the syndrome of Groin disruption in sportsmen and undertook the first successful repair.
The technique later became known as “Gilmore’s Groin†or Sportsmans Groin (and also the misnomer sports hernia.)
Why do you think the word 'misnomer' exists, you 'beaut' ?
Guinea pigs don't come from Guinea.
Koala bears are marsupials, not bears.
Tear gas is not actually gas.
Peanuts are legumes, not nuts.
I could continue. People will say you're 'popcorning'. The reality (as more and more people are starting to figure out) is that you have a massive aversion to admitting you're wrong. A sports hernia is a tear in the muscle lining, a hernia is a hole from which there is a protrusion. They are not the same thing, and i will always trust the opinion of an actual doctor over yourself. As will most sensible people.
Here's another link:

The person who pioneered the surgery called it Sportsmans groin. Wonder why.
So a tear and a hole are not the same thing now???
Jesus wept. And you're trying to pass of someone's vain attempt to try and differentiate THE SAME injury using their name to this supposed (misnomer) subgroup!
How come not a single surgeon I've spoken to called it a "gilmore groin" FFS.
They just called it a *"inguinal hernia"*. I'd trust their opinion over any tinpot link you post!
