I realize the sideline is a “high traffic” area and they want to try to preserve the grass/area underneath or whatever...and it would turn to straight dirt/mud if they didn’t do somethiing.....but is a slippery tarp, especially with cleats on, really the best solution the NFL brain trust can come up with....there has to be something else....like maybe fake grass/turf that they could put down during the game and then remove...?....pretty much anythiing that doesn’t resemble an ice rink would probably be a good idea....I just saw Todd Gurley get run into the sidelines and then try to stop and slip and go flying into the bench/water coolers, etc.....the little line to gain markers they put down on the sideline should also be made of something that isn’t slippery....what major player has to blow out a knee or something before they do something different...?
