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.
