Confirmation Bias and Selection Bias in Blaming Injuries on Playing Surfaces

The chapter discusses the phenomenon of confirmation bias and selection bias when it comes to blaming injuries on playing surfaces. They use the example of personal bias towards disliking turf and associating any injury with it, without considering other factors such as training or changes in events. They also mention the lack of studies on whether the foot gets stuck in turf versus grass, with previous research focusing on specific types of cleats.
