The article lost me right there.
Exactly. When writing an article that calls someone out about the accuracy of thier work, you should be extra careful to have your own facts right. This is especially the case when the person being called out does thier work live as the action is happening and the writer has the luxury of time and a fact checking staff.
There are 32 teams in the NFL. The following 14 teams play on artificial turf:
Rams
Seahawks
Cardinals
Texans
Cowboys
Vikings
Saints
Colts
Lions
Falcons
Bills
Jets
Giants
Ravens
I'm not a mathematician, but by my count 14 is less than half of 32. I also believe the word "most" would generally mean MORE than half.
The Cards play on grass (Unlike the Ravens and Bengals who play on grass no matter where they are) and The Bengals and Patriots play on artifical turf.
So that’s 15 out of 32 which is nearly half.
I thought the Cardinals' new stadium had a mechanism to move the field in and out of the stadium and was actually natural turf.
If you Emailed him about this, he would probably claim he was referring to the 21 teams that have artificial turf on either their stadium field or on one of their practice fields. At least I think it’s still 21 teams. It seems to be a moving target.
Many of those among the 14 play on prescription turf instead of the old artificial turf. This is a mixture of synthetic and real grass, with a dirt base. So in cases like the Giants, Seahawks or Texans, teams can end up with muddy jerseys.
