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

[top dawg]

@TheRumGone, my junior high school and high school years were spent in Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit. We played football on rock-hard ground many many times. Hell, we even legitimately played tackle football on the street. So, you can think what you want.

Shaq Thompson has publicly voiced his issue with grass vs turf at BOA. Is he one of those pussies?

I support the players playing on grass. That's not the issue. The issue is filing a grievance because the ground was hard. Who ever heard of such? Gimme a damned break! LOL

good for them and fug tepper and his stupid ass soccer team

Lol what does CLTFC have to do with this? Those players would prefer real grass too

[MechaZain]

I thought we all hated the turf we should be celebrating this.

Unless there’s some sort of mandated upkeep the team neglected they wouldn’t have filed a grievance over grass being too hard.

Pretty sure I've read that they prepare the grass/field much different for each sport and it would cost significantly more to have grass which is why Tepper's cheap ass switched to turf (and to make it cheaper to hold other events like concerts, etc.). I have no inherent issue with the soccer team at all and yeah I'm sure they'd prefer grass. Reality is they shouldn't be sharing a stadium OR the owner should fuging pay up

Dallas just filed grievance against the Packers for the Ice Bowl

It was like 15 degrees grass would have been rock hard as well. 

I was rock hard just watching that game.

It’s mostly for the events. For the soccer team it’s only about the aesthetic of faded lines, it’s not a big deal. Richest owner in the league just needs to stop being cheap.

It’s not like the turf sits on top of concrete like domes

That's not a bad outcome

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.

So how do you make a field softer when it was colder than a witches *itty? Back in the day players would’ve loved playing on that stuff.

This all started because Goff bitched and moaned and he’s the player rep for the lions.

Interesting how the NFLPA do that when the Lions current field is in the current turf lawsuit all together.

Fun fact…Bank of Americas field turf isn’t in that lawsuit because it’s not the cheap stuff contrary to popular belief.
