"Darius Slay on Brazil Safety Fears"

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.
