Hey guys 👋

A Risky Playing Surface: Artificial Turf Several of the adjustments made to professional football were required for the sport. The players' safety was improved by pads, helmets, and other protective gear. Yet, some advancements, particularly the use of artificial turf, have proven to be harmful to the game and its players. Changes must be made once more, just as they were in the past. For the safety of football players, the enjoyment of the fans, and most importantly to enhance the sport as a whole, stadiums must return to having grass playing surfaces. What Is Synthetic Turf? Like Kleenex or Xerox, AstroTurf has gained popularity as the name for all artificial playing fields that mimic real grass in contemporary sports.

AstroTurf, along with its foreign and domestic imitators that were eventually driven out of business, was developed as a less expensive, more enduring, and low maintenance alternative to grass as a playing surface for football, baseball, and soccer. It was born in the 1960s out of a military project to improve the physical fitness of urban teenagers. All the enjoyment of regular grass, with only a third of the maintenance, was the original sales pitch, and it rang true with all the earnestness of a beer commercial. Grass doesn't grow well under domes, so Monsanto, the company that created AstroTurf, also had something going for them. Stadium builders were seduced by ideas of overcoming Mother Nature and paying a few of youths minimum wage to tidy the field in between games.

proven to be neither more affordable nor require less upkeep than grass, and it had an unpleasant side effect. On the better traction and reduced cushion of AstroTurf, players, coaches, and trainers started to notice a significant increase in the incidence of injuries. Doctors even found and gave new names to a handful that were exclusive to the artificial surface. Grass injuries Turf toe is a bothersome small chronic injury that has developed as a result of the relative hardness of AstroTurf. It happens when the big toe strikes a synthetic surface, shoving back up into the foot and tearing up any ligaments and soft tissue it may come into contact with. Turf burn is a less severe but messier condition that, like turf toe, cannot be treated with antibiotics.
