Was the turf at Vets stadium the cause of brain cancer?

This is an interesting read. No definitive smoking gun but some concerning forensics.

Huh? That makes no sense but I suspect you didn't take the time to actually read the whole article.

Yeah, correlation isn't an automatic causation... however, when a larger than average number of people with something very close in common suffer from an uncommon occurrence (though only 3x the background, which isn't too large an increase, but is an increase) that definitely needs to be looked into.

But one would think about checking grounds crew (do turf stadiums have grounds crews?), people that worked the interior of the stadium.
