The Philadelphia Eagles will be making history this week when they travel to Brazil to face the Green Bay Packers in what will be the the NFL’s first game ever in South America. Although it’s a historical game, not everyone on the Eagles’ roster wants to be part of the history-making matchup.
During a recent episode of his podcast, “Big Play Slay,” Eagles cornerback Darius Slay made it very clear that he would prefer NOT to go to Sao Paulo for the game.
“I do not want to go to Brazil. You want to know why? I’m going to tell you why,” Slay said, via PHL Eagles Nation. “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. I’m like ‘NFL, why would you want to send us somewhere with a crime rate this high?'”
Slay is so uncomfortable with the situation that he’s asked his family not to attend the game.
