The Philadelphia Eagles' next game in Brazil
against the Green Bay Packers is something that at least one player is looking forward to.
These two franchises will be the first to compete in a competition in South America's history.
However, not everyone is excited about the journey. Eagles cornerback Darius Slay
announced on a recent episode of his podcast, "Big Play Slay," that he would prefer
not to travel to Sao Paulo for the match. "I have no desire to visit Brazil."
You're curious as to why. Slay stated, "I'll explain to you why,"
according to PHL Eagles Nation. We've been advised not to leave
the hotel already. They informed us that the insanely high crime rate
prevents us from taking on too much. "NFL, why would you want to send us somewhere
with this high of a crime rate?" I ask. Slay went on to say that he
is asking his family not to bother making the trip because he is so
uncomfortable with the circumstances. "I told my family not to go down there
because I will not be lost," Slay remarked. Slay, like wide receiver A.J.
Brown said he intends to stay in his hotel for the duration of the trip. The Eagles receiver also mentioned
in an August interview that he would be acclimating to his lodging throughout the trip. "We met with a number of "don't
do's" yesterday," Brown added. "My goal is to go down there, win a
football game, and then return here." 'We're not down there to see the city; this is
a football game, not a holiday,' he went on. [...] It's kind of crazy how simple it is to just
stroll along the street while holding your phone. He continued, "I'm probably going to be
in my room after hearing all that stuff." Although he acknowledges his players' worries, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni has
a different take on the matter. "We're going there to play football and
come out on top." That's what we want. As we descend there, it is our sole
objective, Sirianni stated on Sunday. Therefore, it's just a matter of getting
everyone in the proper frame of mind for what it takes to be down there. The things that
you have control over, you can control. Like, we're playing in Brazil. That's the
reality. We can't wait for that. Players from Philadelphia are not the only ones
who are worried. Josh Jacobs, the running back for the Packers, apologized after expressing
worry in June about player safety in Brazil. Thankfully, the Eagles players who are
concerned won't be staying long in Sao Paulo. The Eagles flight is expected to
touch down in the city on Wednesday at approximately 10:00 p.m. local time. Following the game, the team
will take off straight for home, spending just over 48 hours in Brazil.
