I would ban all artificial turf
except that ProTurf stuff, most excellent
but only indoors in a dome
when in Tampa I checked out the ProTurf in the Tropicana
that is home field for the joke TB DevilRays
I stepped onto the grass by warmup pitcher area
it is really nice, soft, no plasticky junk feeling
asked a player about the bounces, and he said GREAT
I watch for skidding of the ball, and see none

artificial and natural turf remains a hidden factor
agreed 100% about its looney crappy effect
take it out of all outdoor fields

funny how TB Bucs have horrible record when under 40 degrees
it is not just a turf factor, but temperature

then you have the most embarrassing pathetic overtime procedure
the NFL needs to give a team scored upon a possession dibs
only fair
I dont believe the nonsense about 57% victory by team that wins toss
besides, since when is 57% fair?
in statistical testing, that is hugely significant over 10 yrs of data collection
conclusion: grossly unfair

so real turf, no sissy warm weather champs, overtime dibs
sound fair, girly girl?

how about getting rid of helmets?
the only helmet permitted is below the waist
