## Resource

George Kittle is leading the charge for natural grass in the NFL, arguing that player health should trump convenience and profit. While injury data remains murky, players overwhelmingly prefer grass — and Kittle’s team this season will play ten of their eighteen games on it, including all home matchups. Yet stadiums stick to turf for easier upkeep and event flexibility. Kittle’s stance reflects a growing player movement pushing the league to prioritize athlete well-being over logistics — and maybe, just maybe, the NFL will finally listen.
