I was watching E:60 this morning and Julie Foudy did a segment on artificial turf, specifically the rubber crumb pellets used on turf fields and the potential link to cancer.

There are a lot of opinions offered in this piece but the most important interviews are the conflicting studies by the toxicologists.

Yeah the sooner MLS gets Away from field turf the better. But everything can cause cancer, it's foolish to push that agenda.

I really hope the Sounders can find a way to get natural grass at century link. I was thinking of a natural grass/ field turf hybrid would be better than just field turf.
