Debate over Turf Fields in the NFL
The injury of Aaron Rodgers has reignited the debate over turf fields in the NFL. Critics argue that artificial turf leads to more injuries compared to natural grass fields. The NFL Players Association has called for a switch to natural grass fields, stating that injury rates are higher on turf. However, the NFL points to the 2021 season where there was no statistical difference in injuries between turf and grass. The cost of converting artificial fields to natural grass is estimated at $12 million, a fraction of the league's revenue.
