Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akilah Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.

George Kittle spoke out against NFL teams being willing to use grass for the World Cup matches, but not for their own players via the NFLPA. We've made it clear that we prefer grass fields. We know it's better on our bodies, and clearly we know it's possible based on everything that went on putting grass fields for the World Cup in each stadium. At this point, it comes down to the NFL making it a priority and choosing to invest in us as players because our bodies are our business, which they get to capitalize on. Ocho, do you agree with Kittle? I mean, this has always been a real tough one for me too, Uncle Joe. And for me, you look at all the injuries, right? You look at the injuries when it comes to soccer, whether players are playing at their clubs or whether they're playing here at the World Cup.
And the rate of injuries for them as far as ACL tears is so far few than the NFL. And most of the time we get hurt, it's on the artificial surface. What do we say it is? We say we're tearing our ACLs because of the surface. Is there some truth to it? Probably so, but one of the things that What happened is now you're adding more money having owners to have to pay for maintenance to the grass. Because most of the stadiums that have the artificial turf on, it's cold weather stadiums. It's where it gets cold at some point. Now, if you have grass, when you get to November, December, and January, you're going to have hell on your hands.
