Adam Schefter: NFLPA is filing a grievance vs Panthers for the hardness of the playing field last Saturday

i mean really though what do they want? do they want the owners to put a thawing system in place under the field? something that would get used maybe once every 10 years considering for the most part it never gets that cold down here..that game on christmas eve was an anomaly

Actually, having a good drainage system and warming system isn't a bad thing when you're talking about base maintenance. Even if you only have these freezes every so often, being able to keep your base dry and thawed helps prevent frost heaving. I live in an area that experiences a lot of this and while it's more expensive, going the extra mile can cost you less in the long run. I always try and recommend this to my customers, especially if they're doing concrete or paver driveways. It doesn't take more than a few years to see the ripples and cracks form.

Did we not play on the same field? Was anyone seriously injured beyond their feelings? This is ridiculous. If you want to get rid of artificial turf the league will have to ban it. Otherwise they need to stfu.

What is, then? I don't know that the NFL would go so far as to remove the Panthers' long-awaited sixth win in a single season. 

Something that affects the team.

Tepper getting punished for sh-tty turf doesn't bother me in the least.

Like draft picks?

This turf debate is so tiring. Wake me when 65% of injuries and higher happen on turf and not grass. It's just not the case. At most it's slightly over 50%. Players get injured because football is a rough game and they put massive force and torque on their bodies.
