NFLPA renews call for grass fields

The article discusses the ongoing preference of NFL players for grass fields over artificial turf, highlighting the contradiction of stadiums installing grass for soccer events while retaining synthetic surfaces for football. The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) has long advocated for natural grass, citing safety concerns, yet many stadium owners opt for artificial turf due to cost considerations. This issue is expected to gain more attention as NFL stadiums prepare to install grass for the upcoming FIFA World Cup. The NFLPA may leverage the league's expansion plans, including an 18-game regular season and more international matches, to push for safer, grass playing surfaces in all NFL venues.
