Jevon Holland: Since being in the league I’ve heard that field is trash

Raheem Mostert: We’ve got to do something about this turf. Something has to change.

    It’s not financial analysis, it’s injury analysis. Lots of players are superstitious, hell a bunch of people in this thread didn’t realize the turf itself was new. If the data backs the players’ opinions, which it seems to, then install grass. If it doesn’t, ignore their opinions because who gives a h*ck if they feel more comfortable on something proven to actually be worse for injury?

      Fans should, no? Do we watch for the players or the owners? We shouldn’t care that the people doing the actual entertaining are not more comfortable? What is the drawback? This literally makes no sense to me. As a fan, what does it matter whether the games are on turf or grass? Why such vehement defense of turf? Even if you are 100% right and every piece of research says there is no difference, what does it hurt you to root for having grass? Are you getting some bonuses or stocks in turf or something?

        Idk how you aren’t getting this

        If players are actually getting more injured on a surface

        Then it doesn’t matter if they “like” it better
