Hamburg School District is Hurting Athletes
Living out in Hamburg I found out that the Hamburg School District decided to put in the artificial grass on the football field.
What they are doing is setting up athletes for injuries.
Just because the new form of astro turf looks like grass doesn’t mean it is any safer.
The fact of the matter is that it is astro turf, which means there is no give In it.
When a player gets their foot caught in grass the groud gives away eventually, thus preventing injury to the player.
In regards to astro turf there is no give, so when a player gets their cleat stuck they usually wind up tearing their knee.
Schools are suppose to take measures to protect their children.
With Hamburg that is not the case.
In the end the school won’t save money, because they will be sued by parents whose child life is affected forever.
