Panthers putting down a grass field?

[t96]

fuging outrageous that this doofus caters to the demands of soccer players that don't even play for his team but won't listen to the demands of his own players. I'm way happier with how this offseason has gone than his first 5 years but damn Tepper this is the easiest fuging thing to do to make players and fans happy and he still won't budge.

How much money you sending if it's so easy?

 

Get the board together and let's start a GoFundMe account. I will throw 1k in the pot to get this thing done.

Tepper is worth 18.5 billion I'm sure he can figure out how to keep real grass and still keep the lights on.

I love how they put grass down for the traveling soccer teams each time. It’s so deflating knowing that Tepper ultimately values flexibility for his entertainment biz vs winning or player safety. 
 

 

Like, they would only have to put grass down 10 times all year.  Its not like the NFL plays a poo ton of games or anything.

We should all take to Twitter and make a big deal about how awesome this is for the team so that Tepper doesn't have any choice but to keep it. 

Seriously only way is to make this a viral story

Considering he has billions, Tepper can easily afford to have a grass field that would be safer for the players.

 

 "Grass is a significantly safer surface than turf," JC Tretter, NFLPA president said

 

The association reviewed past data and found that 10 of the previous 11 years showed that the injury rate on synthetic versus natural surfaces was considerably higher.

The only way it changes is if the NFLPA bans turf. Which I think is right around the corner.

Ok, at this point, it doesn't feel like turf truly is a cost saving measure.

How many events are we holding at BOA?  How often are we installing and taking out grass? 

Feels like somethings missing here.

Unfortunately, that is what this may come down to. The CBA has to hold the line. No sod, no trod. 

 

To bad the next CBA isn't until 2030. So, it may take some drastic measures. 

 

Force the NFL to abide by its "We're all for player safety" line. 

 

Fingers crossed.

The only problem I see is that dome teams cannot have grass fields.  Do you force them to build new stadiums? Good luck with that.
