NFLPA calls for 'immediate replacement and ban' from slit-firm turf fields

Travis and Jason Kelce recently called out NFL for the issue

The NFL Players Association wrote a letter calling for the "immediate replacement and ban" of slit-film turf fields throughout the league.

The league uses three types of turf: slit-firm, dual fiber, and monofilament, but it's the slit-firm surface that has proven players to miss more time due to injuries, which happen at an increased rate on it as well.

Players all over the league are speaking up about this on twitter as well under the hashtag #SaferFields

Dozens upon dozens of players and they're all in agreement that they gotta go.

Long overdue. Football is more natural with grass.

Get this done ASAP.
