I move that we ban turf. I don’t even care if that caused Miles’ injury. playing sports on turf is an insult to God

A study y’all might want to check out before calling for a turf ban (American journal of sports medicine, 2019):
Injury Surveillance in Major League Soccer: A 4-Year Comparison of Injury on Natural Grass Versus Artificial Turf Field
Abstract
Background: Artificial playing surfaces are becoming more common due to decreased cost of maintenance and increased field usability across different environmental conditions. The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has approved newer generation artificial turf for soccer competition at the elite level, but many elite-level athletes prefer to play on natural grass surfaces due to a perceived increase in injury rate, discomfort, and fatigability on artificial turf.
Hypothesis: Injury rates and rates of individually categorized types of injury experienced on artificial turf are noninferior to rates of injury on the standard comparator, natural grass, in elite-level Major League Soccer athletes.
Study design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2.
Methods: Over the course of 4 Major League Soccer seasons (2013-2016), athlete injury data were recorded electronically. Injury data recorded in matches between 2 Major League Soccer teams were then analyzed. Playing surface was known for each venue, and all artificial turf surfaces were rated as 2-star according to FIFA criteria. Incidence rate ratios (Artificial Turf ÷ Natural Grass) were calculated with a 95% CI (a = .05) for both overall injury incidence and individual injury subgroups. A noninferiority margin (d) of 0.15 was used to determine noninferiority of injury incidence rates.
Results: A total of 2174 in-game injuries were recorded during the study period, with 1.54 injuries per game on artificial turf and 1.49 injuries per game on natural grass (incidence rate ratio, 1.033; 95% CI, 0.937-1.139). Within injury subgroups, overall ankle injury, Achilles injury, and ankle fracture were found to have a statistically higher incidence on artificial turf. Artificial turf was found to be noninferior to natural grass for overall foot injury and forefoot injury. No statistically significant differences were found in knee injuries between the 2 surfaces.
Conclusion: The overall rate of injury on artificial turf was noninferior to that on natural grass. Within individual injury categories, a higher rate of ankle injury was found on artificial turf. No other injury subgroup demonstrated statistically significant differences between surfaces.
Clinical relevance: FIFA 2-star rated artificial turf is a viable alternative to natural grass in elite-level soccer competition. Innovative research methods for comparing artificial turf versus natural grass may elucidate relative advantages with respect to player safety.

What does this mean? Overall it doesn’t look like the turf surfaces used in MLS contribute to higher overall injuries. The ankle injury subgroup showed higher incidence but really we need a separate study on ankle injuries on turf to see how this plays out. Subgroup analysis is hypothesis generating and cannot be used to make conclusions as the initial study was not powered for this specific analysis.

I knew Ayling was going to pass it back to goal and was thinking don’t do that. Then worst case scenario.

I don't see how they can say it doesn't injure more players when they found ankle injuries occured more on turf than grass.
It's not just about injuries though. Sports need to be played on grass.

That sounds bad.
Not as bad as this Bundesliga 2 football I’m watching at 6:30. But still not good.
