I don't know when the field turf came out, but when field turf first was invented, it was made to wear like nubs, like little soccer shoes.
It wasn't made to wear cleats and dig in.
That's the thing.
When cleats dig into field turf and it torques, your cleats stay in, and then something's got to give, and the turf is not going to give.
You're going to get stuck in the turf, and boom, we see injuries.
And they can say whatever they want.
Oh, the numbers aren't up in turf.
You don't get hurt more.
Yeah, you do.
You definitely get hurt more on turf when you wear cleats and when you're playing professional football, I believe.
But I would want grass as much as I can.
But also, I'm realistic, and I know it's probably not going to happen.
No, I'm talking FieldTurf.
I'm talking FieldTurf was meant to wear, like, nubs on it.
With the rubber?
Way back in the day.
Really?
Yeah, or your Cadillacs.
Yeah.
That was safer.
