I would not wish injury upon anyone, however that is a risk that you take when you play sports. ACL tears happen whether it is on a pro field or a high school field.
Grass is frowned upon now in Austin because it wastes water. It can be damaged easily (i.e. mud) and takes forever to fix.

Turf fields are a greater up front cost, but save money over the life of the field. Your argument that basically "shit happens" when you play sports, is weak at best. Yes, ACLs and other injuries happen. But they don't have to happen because of neglected fields.
