Toronto, June 11 (RHC)-- The news comes as the Women’s World Cup is underway in Canada. Despite protests alleging gender discrimination, concerns over potential injury, and a lawsuit withdrawn earlier this year, the women are being forced to play on artificial turf, not on grass, as the men do.
Just before kickoff at the opening game, the artificial turf measured 120 degrees Fahrenheit, on a 75-degree day, just two degrees under the level studies have shown is unsafe, because skin can burn within seconds.
