We need to do away with turf in sports venues. Protect the players!
"The "Philadelphia Inquirer" found dangerous chemicals in the astroturf of the now-demolished Veterans Stadium.
Six Phillies who played on that turf, Tug McGraw, Darren Daulton, John Vukovich, John Oates, Ken Brett, and David West have died of a rare and aggressive brain cancer. The six players all died in their 40's or 50's, roughly three times the rate of the average adult population.
Even more alarming was their mutual diagnosis of glioblastoma.
The Phillies sold pieces of turf in sealed 4 x 4" bags.
The "Inquirer" purchased four of those on eBay.
Samples analyzed by two separate labs found 16 types of dangerous chemicals in the turf.
They are referred to as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down and can last in the human body for years.
The US federal government estimates that 12,000 artificial turf fields containing PFAS or “forever chemicals” exist in USA.

Anyone who’s coached with me knows why this is meaningful to me
Steve Nash didn’t just lead in assists.
He led the NBA in high-fives, fist bumps, and pats on the back.
And a UC Berkeley study found that teams who showed more physical enthusiasm… won more.
Energy is contagious.
Encouragement matters.

Hard to believe I was front and center for almost all of this..all this at 13 different home gyms and at least 25 practice facilities including a mental hospital which was luxurious compared to practicing outside at the Fens. TY Coach Smith for everything
Kabir could always lift you up. Anyone who’s known him had their day made better by his extraordinarily positive, welcoming, kind, encouraging, and enthusiastic nature. I’m lucky to say one of the nicest people and supportive teammates was my friend.
If this doesn't personify Emerson College Bball under Hank Smith, I have no idea what does...Kabir Moss and Rhys Thieriot dapping each other...I've said it before but will say it again...I have absolutely no idea what I've done in life to be this lucky, but clearly have been

So happy for my Coach Smith. My life wouldn’t be what it is, and I wouldn’t be who I am, if it wasn’t for Coach Smith and the ECHoops program. I’m the father, husband, coach, worker, and MBA graduate I am proud to be because of the influence he has had on me
Great news from @EmersonCollege and @EmersonLions today as the school has announced they are going to officially name the basketball court after our Coach - Hank Smith this coming January...so appreciative of this honor for the person that had a profound affect on so many lives.
Love the @MarkFarrellSF cable car buses driving around SF, and it was great to see Mark out thanking supporters on Fillmore St this morning. As one bus just drove by, I turned to a @LondonBreed supporter and said while pointing at the Farrell bus "That's who I'm voting for"
I am very proud to have voted today for @MarkFarrellSF for SF Mayor. He makes me feel excited and comfortable about the future of San Francisco for the first time in a long while. I believe Mark will make individuals, families, and businesses want to stay in SF

Joe Mazzulla shares his advice for the young basketball players who want to be on the Celtics one day:
“Don’t play one sport — play different sports so you can learn different skills.”
This is why I will vote for @MarkFarrellSF : I am a multi-generational SF resident, and I now experience safety concerns that I never experienced before. @MarkFarrellSF makes safety for SF’s residents his #1 priority. Also, he doesn’t seem party focused but rather city focused
