Synthetic Turf Melts at CA Schools
Five Los Angeles high schools are living Abby Wambach’s synthetic turf “nightmare” as the pellets underneath their synthetic turf fields have melted in the summer heat. What did LAUSD do in response?
130 Degree #WomensWorldCup Artificial Turf “Nightmare” Says @AbbyWambach
They won’t make men play on it. No major men’s soccer tournament has ever been played on artificial turf, where bloody burns and temperatures over 100 degrees regularly impact players’ health. But the 2015 Women’s World Cup will be played entirely on the stuff–and players like Abby Wambach are calling out gender bias. But is this a case of environmental injustice, as well?
