San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa expressed discontent with NFL decisions regarding the upcoming FIFA World Cup, set to start on June 11. NFL teams are replacing turf with natural grass for matches at their stadiums, which has raised concerns among players about the league's commitment to player safety. Bosa remarked on the situation, stating it is "bizarre" given the league's historical stance on turf. Levi's Stadium will host six World Cup matches as the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium. Changes will revert back to turf after the tournament concludes.
