Wisconsin Lawmaker Urges Packers to Reconsider Brazil Game
News summary

Wisconsin State Representative John Macco is urging the NFL and the Green Bay Packers to reconsider their upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles in São Paulo, Brazil, due to significant safety concerns. Macco highlighted the current political and social unrest in Brazil, citing escalating violence, widespread unrest, and censorship affecting U.S. companies, including Elon Musk's platform X. He stressed that hosting the game under such conditions poses risks to the safety of players, staff, and fans and contradicts the values of inclusion and freedom of speech that the NFL promotes. With Brazil's national holiday occurring just after the game, predictions of major upheaval have raised alarms. Additionally, environmental concerns, such as smoke from Amazon wildfires, have been noted. The Packers are scheduled to depart for Brazil on Wednesday, with the game set to kick off at 7:15 p.m. on Friday, marking the first NFL game ever hosted in the country.
