Nick Chubb, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and others call for turf to be banned after OBJ injury

[Aikmaniac]

What kind of logic is there to grass in domed stadiums, how would that work again??

No big dealio...just billions of dollars to be spent in modifying those bad boys.

Why, consumers are paying for their salaries, yet nobody asked for our opinions

I agree. I got a turf injury watching the Super Bowl.

“There's a lot of support for natural grass fields, but what is the "Flip The Turf" campaign? Half of the league's teams play on artificial turf, which is why players are pushing for change. There are statistics in the campaign to back up why fields should switch from turf to grass.

In the petition, turf fields have:

• 28% more non-contact lower body injuries.
• 32% more non-contact knee injuries and 69% more non-contact foot and ankle injuries occurred on turf.
• Turf can get up to 60 degrees hotter than natural grass, increasing the rate at which toxic gases are released and ingested”

I agree. With the focus being so much on player safety, why isn't doing this obvious? Because it costs more money? The NFL makes a ton of money. there should be natural grass in every stadium.
