Aaron Rodgers' injury prompts renewed call for NFL grass turf from David Bakhtiari: 'You care more about soccer players'

David Bakhtiari didn't mince words when his friend and former teammate Aaron Rodgers went down with injury Monday.

The longtime Green Bay Packers left tackle immediately made a pointed call for the league to install natural grass fields at all NFL stadiums.

Congrats @nfl. How many more players have to get hurt on ARTIFICIAL TURF??! You care more about soccer players than us. You plan to remove all artificial turf for the World Cup coming up. So clearly it’s feasible.
I’m sick of this..Do better!
