I have hated turf since I first played on it because it is hard on the body and the ball bounces unlike how I have known a soccer ball to bounce. 2 ACL replacements later and a ruptured disc and I am now turf free - I only play home games, albeit on Hillcrest which many have called a cow pasture, but it is better than turf IMO.
This article brings a whole new light onto the possible hazards of turf, and has me asking all new questions.
