US Women's National Soccer Friendly Canceled Because of Artificial Turf

The scheduled friendly between the United States Women’s National Soccer team and Trinidad and Tobago has been canceled over safety concerns. The concerns? The horrible artificial turf FIFA has been forcing women’s soccer teams to play on. Conerns over the artificial turf dominated the conversation at the Women’s World Cup over the summer. Now the USWNT showed up in Honolulu and found that they could lift portions of the field without much effort. [KHON]
