In the past 9 games played at SoFi Stadium, 5 NFL players have suffered season-ending/career-threatening leg injuries, including 3 ACL tears. Former Rams players says he “hates” the field there:https://t.co/LeUCG3rrLW

Rams WR Cooper Kupp was asked today about preferences between turf/natural grass in light of continued league-wide conversation about the matter as it pertains to player safety.

“We should be on grass,” he said. “That’s all I’m gonna say.”

i wish they’d just go grass. from what i’ve read it seems like it’s very doable.

Didn’t know Sofi was so bad. No excuse for it, given the five billion price tag, especially. For that kind of money, you’d think they could go full Mars terraforming.

If the players were smart, they’d say No grass fields? No play. And, again, drop back to 14 games, and no more Thursdays.

The players have more power than they seem to realize. They haven’t made the most of that, IMO.

I have a really cool idea for turf vs grass study! Ask the people who actually perform and put their bodies at risk on it! We know how we feel on it. Injury or not! Beating it puts on body, how hard it is when helmet hits, footing, etc

The data is clear and the NFL agrees: Slit film synthetic surface is bad for players, and there is a higher injury rate than on grass or any other synthetic surface. #SaferFields pic.twitter.com/0F9LR5AWJe

I believe that we — and all teams — should be playing on grass.

This is an age-old issue, and I believe the time to address the problem is now!

Let's have the conversation.#saferfields

it’d be interesting to see the long-term effects of playing on synthetic grass. not just the acute injuries.
