NFL Warned Eagles & Packers Players Not To Leave Hotel Due To Brazil's Crime?! | Pat McAfee Reacts

uh speaking of time there's going to be a time in a different country coming up to kick off this entire weekend on Friday night Tai has a question for you yeah shefy we obviously know the NFL is very bullish and excited about global expansion evidenced by you know this Marquee game on Friday night between the Packers and the Eagles in Brazil and while some of the players are like very excited about the actual game itself uh Darius Slay had this to say about actually playing in Brazil week one I'm looking forward to it I can't wait but man I do not want to go to Brazil you want to know why I'm here to tell you why they already told us not to leave the hotel they told us we can't do too much going on because the crime rate is crazy you know what I'm saying I'm like NFL why y'all want to sell somewhere with the crime rate this high and and like we out the country so you know the first thing people thinking is like something terrible can possibly happen I told my family do not come down there because they I'm not going to be nowhere to be found really I'm be in a hotel chilling minding my business playing my game after a long 9 and 1 half hour flight so I don't have no intentions on doing nothing I'm going eat Hotel food I'm doing everything but they said yeah man it GNA be pretty crazy down there you know uh the police said they gonna be you know try to be the best they could possibly be the Top Flight security of the world cig you know what I'm saying so we hope for that man but I do big Dom baby yeah big Dom obviously but Jey with that being said how did the NFL come to this decision and ultimately like what kind of actual I mean like how worried are they about the the potential threats that this game could pose well they do so much work on these games in advance and I don't know that they pose any more threats than any other game in any other country and the league is determined to grow the game internationally to do whatever it takes so much so that you're seeing them pull a game out of Philadelphia a marquee matchup and putting it in Brazil on Friday night of week one and it's a great match up like it's a marquee game here that Brazil gets and Philadelphia is deprived the Packers themselves they're not thrilled about the idea of going to Brazil but they don't have to go to Philadelphia and they're playing on a neutral field which I think it's huge but the league feels like there's these huge opportunities in these foreign countries and look I think there's just a ton of security that's in place the Eagles are staying at the airport it's not like they're going sightseeing in Brazil it's a total business trip that's what it is and I think everybody knows they're taking extra precautions being careful and even today I had Russell Okun the former offensive L he was all worked up about the fact that people would say anything negative about Brazil he's like this is the most beautiful country it's awesome there people are going to love it there so there's that other side too that people aren't hearing about but because it's essentially away from what normally happens it's a break in the routine people are wondering how it will be you just never know I'll tell you this we used to do Monday Night Football games in Mexico City and they always bring you to these cars and and they're they're extra careful with you taking precautions and we I was walking out with the Monday night countdown team back to the parking area where there were a bunch of people that were taking us back to the hotel supposedly and all of a sudden I'm standing there and I get in a car I'm like they're like they go Hotel I go hotel and I get in the car by myself with nobody around and I'm about three minutes in and I start having heart palpitations I'm like oh my God I just got into the wrong car like these people could be taking me anywhere right now like I started texting some of the ESPN people on cat right like hey am I in the right car did I get in the right place am I in the wrong spot did I get kidnap like I was but then got tell I was scared but then he got delivered to the right spot right and you immediately thought to yourself like of course there's more good people than bad people and it's like the same thing same thing here with like when we went to Dublin and we went to Ireland like if you wanted to find negative headlines about a place you could probably go and find anywhere but what we what we found was yeah awesome absolutely awesome and it's same thing I think with Paris and France whenever you talk about what the Olympics happened it's like for these big events I don't know if it's how it is normally okay I don't care about any of that but I do know that normally for these big events like the country everybody wants to show like the absolute best yeah absolutely they want to put their best foot forward they're great places to visit all these things but there's there's trouble in New York City there's trouble in Connecticut there's trouble in Indianapolis you you just got to be SM fans in the league though let's make sure that came out Indianapolis nicest fans in the entire NFL but it is absolutely I do appreciate though that like big Dom and them are tell them over there like hey this ain't like you said this isn't a sightseeing trip okay we are going to be on the resort we are staying on the resort here then it's not even a resort it's a hotel at the airport it's a it's not even a resort it's just it's a it's a airport hotel n and a half hours Brazil's got Resort I mean they got plenty of saying at a holiday and express all right very nice all right you come down here get some muffins we're we're shipping in some Philly cheese steaks you guys feel like you're at home they'll have the breakfast buffet all set up for everybody it'll be great
