AI GeneratedThe speaker argues that the NFL's decision to hold a game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints in Paris is reckless due to ongoing civil unrest. He contends that playing a professional sports game in a city experiencing violent protests puts players and staff in avoidable danger and ignores the local socio-economic crisis.
My nomination for who's got
the worst situation may happen in about six days, okay?
The Pittsburgh Steelers are about
to play the New Orleans Saints in Paris.
I don't know how well informed you guys are on global affairs.
Paris is currently on fire.
Yes, yes.
There is civil unrest in Paris that no one can stop
unless their arms get tired from throwing rocks and molotovs, okay?
Therefore, if I'm the NFL, you can't go there.
I understand you're going to lose money,
but you may actually get somebody hurt
or you may put one of these teams in danger
that was completely avoidable like
Jalen Hurts' flight back from London.
The people over there in civil unrest,
this is the perfect target for them.
With everything happening in our country,
they want to still distract you with this American football game
where we don't have jobs, we don't have food,
we don't know what we're going to do.
The young people in our country don't have a future.
Sound familiar?
And you're going to come here and play a football game?
John, let me tell you.
Let me do my best Joe Buck impression.
Oh, give it to me.
This Sunday at 9.30 on ESPN and NFL Network,
the Saints will take on the Steelers.
Even though they're civil unrest right now,
he literally said that tonight.
He literally said that tonight.
How did I miss that?
They are playing this game.
Even though he promoted and told you the city was burning
and that they were still playing the game on Sunday.
You know, I used to think that the...
Remember we were talking about this guys before the season,
like all these international games,
the field is always so terrible and it's slippery.
This is way worse than any field.
Speaker 3 ,
Now try the city being on fire.
It might, it might get dark, Night Rises out
there. It might, it might look like Gotham by the time kickoff happens.
I mean, I was just watching
The Dark Knight Rises. Bane might come out from
I really pray to God that doesn't
happen because I want to feel
no I don't want it to happen
you bring up a great point like I don't think any any situation
is worse than that no we
could go to the Chargers being zero
and six we can go to the Dolphins we could go to Texas
John, your team, Texas, they're not the worst situation in football?
