NFL is Not Owning Up to their Mistakes, Blames Teams Instead...
When looking back at Super Bowl LVII (last season), a common thing most of us remember is the bad field conditions. Fans, players, analysts, etc., spoke out about the poor conditions, which caused both the Chiefs and Eagles players to slip and stumble, causing issues for both teams. Even with all of these people speaking out, the NFL is blaming the players.
As reported by "Pro Football Talk", the NFL is blaming the players themselves for the issues, and not taking accountability for their poor quality field:
"Per a league source, the league blames the players for not wearing the right shoes. (The Eagles changed their cleats � and it didn't seem to matter.)"
The NFL believes that the players were wearing the wrong cleats, which caused them all to slip and fall. This is very hard to believe, as these players have worn those exact cleats on fields before. The NFL has a clear field issue, which they seem to care very little about

Field issues are not new to the NFL, as several players have been speaking about the turf in certain stadiums, and how it has negatively affected their careers. Former star wide receiver's Julian Edelman and Brandon Marshall have spoken out about the injuries that were caused by turf, which ended Marshall's career.
The NFL likes to blame others for their actions, but if they do not fix their field issues, we will be seeing many more injuries in the upcoming season.
