Reggie Bush: NFL owners want the cheapest field surfaces, players need to demand grass
Our Summary
Reggie Bush, who won a lawsuit against the Rams in 2018 for a knee injury caused by a concrete surface, is advocating for NFL games to be played only on grass, citing safety concerns with artificial turf. He argues that turf contributes to a higher incidence of leg injuries, as athletes today are stronger and faster, leading to more severe impacts. Despite NFL owners prioritizing cost-efficient artificial surfaces, Bush emphasizes that players overwhelmingly prefer grass. He urges the NFL players' union to prioritize playing surface safety in negotiations, as surveys indicate over 90% of players favor grass.
