These injuries suck and Marty was my favorite player on the team so seeing him get hurt bad ruined the game for me.
But pretty much all of these injuries had zero to do with playing on the turf. We need to stop this nonsense. SMH
Mensah got hit, Fletcher got a stinger, Mali strained himself reaching for the pass, Moore got hurt on a pile up, etc.
Can’t speak for Marty but looked more due to getting tackled in a way where his leg got twisted. Just severely unlucky.
You are full of ****. How these injuries had "zero" to do with the turf is ridiculous.
First, Malachi did NOT strain himself reaching for the pass. He went down hard on his shoulder when he was tackled a couple of plays BEFORE THAT. And, yes, landing on hard artificial turf is not as easy as landing on grass. THAT is the play where Malachi got hurt, not "reaching for a pass". What a moronic claim.
As for Marty's play, it wasn't his "leg got twisted". His right knee was already bending awkwardly from the plant, NOT getting tackled and rolled over on. And that could very well be an artificial turf issue.
Same with "Moore got hurt in a pile up". Yeah, you're some kind of specific-detail genius, aren't you? You know how you can get hurt in a pile-up on a hard artificial surface?
Just stupid nonsense from you. Do you own stock in Astroturf? Do you represent ownership in collective bargaining? You have no idea what happened. Certainly not ALL of the injuries were due to the turf, but some were or were made more severe by the unforgiving nature of that playing surface.
And it's ridiculous. That is a wide open stadium and there is no reason they couldn't have a great natural-grass playing surface. Wake Forest is the smallest Big 4 school (by enrollment), I have no idea what they are doing with all that ACC money. Installing a grass field should be a slam dunk.
