Sad to see this being pushed under the rug just so we can have a cheap, maintenance-free and durable playing surface. The cancer links and knee injury risks are pretty serious shit, on par with the concussion stuff and no one talks about it. Yet...
 
I don't remember which program I was watching, but there was a huge segment that focused on Soccer and it was completely based on UW and their research and team.

I guess goalies get cancer at a much higher rate. I remember thinking it's hard to prove. It was a 60 minutes or some shit. Lots of UW free pub.

not a big sample size
 
I have a former teammate who has cancer. Goalie. Maybe let's not roll around in known carcinogens every day. Or how about we test a product thoroughly before we convert every fucking field to it. Just a thought.
 
Yeah, breathing in and ingesting ground-up tire bits are pretty bad for your health.

I blame the environmentalists who thought this was a good way to recycle old tires instead of having them sitting in landfills.
 
Field turf studies haven't shown any conclusive evidence. Try again.

An analysis of specific lower extremity injury rates on grass and FieldTurf playing surfaces in National Football League Games: 2000-2009 seasons by Hershman EB, Anderson R, Bergfeld JA, Bradley JP, Coughlin MJ, Johnson RJ, Spindler KP, Wojtys E, Powell JW, and the National Football League Injury and Safety Panel, and I laughed at this.
