In 2018, Reggie Bush won a lawsuit against the Rams for an injury caused by a concrete surface beyond the sideline, highlighting the dangers NFL players face on unsafe playing surfaces. Bush argues that grass is safer than artificial turf, which contributes to various leg injuries, and insists that NFL owners prioritize cost over player safety, despite players’ preferences for grass. He believes the NFL players’ union must prioritize safer surfaces in negotiations, as over 90 percent of players prefer grass, indicating a strong desire for change.
