If NFL and NFLPA cared about player safety

[NAS]

They wouldn’t allow games to be played on turf

 

 

[Mr. Scot]

That's a really difficult fight though.

Probably worthwhile, but not easy.

I thought this was going to be about how in the world Tua was allowed to go back in the game on Sunday.

Yeah been wondering for a while why players aren’t going under the tent anymore for concussion protocol. I also thought if your helmet came off you had to leave the field for a play. Guess they just eased away from all that.

Happens on grass too, Thomas Davis, Kris Jenkins, Kelvin Benjamin.... Turf is definitely not kind to the body but I don't think it makes much of a difference with the not contact ACL tears.... That's more about equipment.

When I watched him stumble then said it was his back I totally got it. I have had the same issue from a back injury where I'm walking, my back locks, my legs just go and I end up stumbling and have to have help to move. My first thought was I walk like that sometimes even though I did think he had a concussion.

He also grabbed his head before that so I don’t buy that it was just his back

Gotta keep the rabid fans happy.

If football in its current form was inventory today it wouldn't allowed to be played............

Turf is about keeping the owners happy. A lot easier to use the stadium for other profitable events like major concerts with a turf field.

Grass is so much better for the game but it's cheaper to throw turf out there so they can cheaply use the field for more events. They could still do that with grass but it would be a lot more expensive. If it doesn't go into a labor deal then it will never happen. 

There is a reason why the big soccer team that came to town required grass on the pitch. Arizona has a dome with real grass on a retractable field. I also saw lines of greenhouses growing crops in the dead of winter in Iceland so the northern fields could make it happen if they were forced.

...that looked like just bum luck...Didn't hurt the greatest show on turf.....I agree...I prefer grass tho..

I was meant the concussion stuff. Get Tua back out there! The fans want to see him!
