Look at all the players that played on field turf this past weekend and before and didn’t get injured, but hey, ARod at 39, rolls the dice like everyone else and now there’s outrage and, I believe it will force the NFL to do away with artificial turfs, so why him? Why now? What about all the others that got hurt in this way? Didn’t they count?

Or is it about $$$, how many bets were lost yesterday when Aarod sat back down on that field.

Aaron Rodgers is a franchise quarterback and you can't just replace them. That's why everyone is mad about this.

There are plenty of stats to demonstrate the difference.

artificial turf is significantly harder on the body than grass. Based on NFL injury data collected from 2012 to 2018, not only was the contact injury rate for lower extremities higher during practices and games held on artificial turf, NFL players consistently experienced a much higher rate of non-contact lower extremity injuries on turf compared to natural surfaces. Specifically, players have a 28% higher rate of non-contact lower extremity injuries when playing on artificial turf. Of those non-contact injuries, players have a 32% higher rate of non-contact knee injuries on turf and a staggering 69% higher rate of non-contact foot/ankle injuries on turf compared to grass.
