Odell Beckham Jr. Slams NFL Over Turf Fields
Former NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. is calling out the league’s approach to player safety, especially after another serious injury on artificial turf.
In a post on X, Beckham Jr. wrote:
“Dear NFL, I mean this with the upmost love and respect. We (The NFL) take all The precautions in the world with EVERYTHING else when it comes to players ‘health’ and ‘safety’. PLZ. PLZ. PLZ. GET RID OF THE TURF.”
He also criticized MetLife Stadium’s field, saying:
“Respect and u kno I loveeeee the Giants, but DeathLife has taken too many talented players away from the game. I kno it’s not ALL the turf’s fault but at least maybe … if TURF has to stay it’s at the HIGHEST of quality possible.”
Beckham’s comments follow a serious injury suffered by Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers during a game, a development that fueled renewed debate over artificial turf.
