Ikenna Ike: How it all started: #FlipTheTurf petition was started by the grass seed manufacturer Pennington in 2022 to advocate for a return to natural turf. The argument about real vs. fake grass still rages on.
Checking out Texas United FC Bear Creek Park on this rainy day! Great bones in this park. No irritation which will make things problematic but with a little TLC we can bring it back to its former glory! #groundskeeperlife #fliptheturf
How many more players have to get hurt before we switch to real grass???
George Kittle, David Bakhtiari, Will Levis, Bryan Bresee discuss.

Plastics were seen as an alternative to Ivory. There are medical uses for plastics & now we are drowning in it.
Our parks, playgrounds, schools and gardens are covered in non-recyclable plastic. Totally unnecessary.

Just another reason why weโll always be an advocate of natural grass for the concern and safety of athletes.

Pretty obvious to see where this players foot/ankle is impacted by the fact that artificial turf doesnโt give. If this was on natural turf the grass would have lifted away and the player would not be injured.

Natural Turf is a better climate adaption than any other surface.
Champions play on natural turf, so should everyone.
#FlipTheTurf
Happy to see the NFL has the last three games for the season being played on natural grass. Philadelphia Eagles San Francisco 49ers Kansas City Chiefs Cincinnati Bengals should be happy and thankful to all the hardworking grounds crews who keep the fields safe and playable. #fliptheturf #safer #playable #naturalisbest
