Holland is unaware that the turf is different than the turf that was there. They replaced the turf prior to the season with field turf core

The same turf is used in Atlanta and New England as well as Notre Dame and Texas.

I'm not saying the turf is fine but it's incredibly irresponsible of the media to not mention these facts as if it's left over turf from the Vet in Philly or something.

Or when Nick Chubb’s leg died. That was grass. Crickets. It’s just confirmation bias

There's a huge difference between a non-contact catastrophic leg injury vs some guy rolling up on someone's leg and fucking it up.

Look at the flair, you can’t expect to have a logical conversation…

The media feeds into these types of stories intentionally, because discord gets attention.
