God bless DeRo

"This turf's gotta go, I'm sick of it. It's killing our game..."

Yes, it's an age old question. "Should football be played on turf?" The answer is no (and no, I'm not really a purist). Unnatural things that physically affect the match in a negative way and are preventable should be prevented.

For example, turf affects the bounce of the ball and the way the game is played, so it should be avoided. It's not the increased injuries that I'm worried about - it's the fact that the sport itself is affected by it.

I'm not going to go any further into this issue...it's been dissected time and time again. The players hate it. The coaches hate it. The fans hate it. Maybe now that our star player has said something, it will get taken care of...

That is true. Soccer should not be played on turf. It doesn't increase the risk of injuries but the game is way too better in grass.
