They obviously didn't do their homework. Let's pick two teams who wear green to play in a country where you will probably be killed for wearing green. Brilliant!!
I'm sure Chicago fans are used to getting shot and high crime, but I don't think any fans need to be dodging bullets just to see an NFL team play football.
My bad. You're Pack. I know some are Eagles fans on here. Forgot who it was?
Go Pack! This game sounds like a shit show. Supposedly the teams are not allowed to be out and about, the Pack is having trouble with ensuring their plane will be let into the country. Horrible idea to play this game in Brazil.
So, you as a Packer fan would have no problem going to the game and wearing a green jersey around the city, right?
Good point. Also, with these Venezuelan gangs taking over places in Colorado and Chicago it will feel like home for some teams.
Why would the packers plane no get into Brazil?

yep. they are tough. wouldn't even blink at Rio. I assume people from philly (total shithole) will react similarly.
Another reason not to play there.

I'm sure you would be singing a different tune if your team was playing there, and your new QB was wearing a green dress with his green purse to match his green nail polish.
No idea. They were talking on ESPN radio this morning about it. Probably some sort of customs issue I imagine as there is a lot that goes into that. I know when NU played in Ireland they had to adjust a bunch of things based on customs. I imagine they will get it figured out, but just seems like a nightmare so far.
There are plenty of other games to attend. This is a business decision for the NFL. The players sure don't have a problem taking the ever increasing paychecks. U.S. only has so many potential fans. Smart of the NFL to branch out. They couldn't play the game in this time slot in Europe, it would be the middle of the night.
It will. I don't even need to read about and I know it will. Drama. Likely driven by social media.
of course not
I've been to plenty of border towns where we were told not to go. Been to a few 3rd world countries where Americans are not supposed to visit. All I'm saying is it is an unnecessary risk for the teams and the fans. Bad move for the NFL.
Already pay for overpriced cable. Don't need 10 different subs or services because the NFL is greedy as hell.
I'm a smart Packers fan. I would watch it on TV and take them on vacation somewhere where they won't have to worry about being killed.
Doesn't bother me. I already have Prime and Netflix. Paying $8 isn't a big deal. I'm sure the kids can find a movie in that month too. I grew up paying for PPV boxing with friends and later paid to watch the Huskers on PPV.
LOL
