The NFL continues its international expansion this weekend with the league’s first game in Paris, France.
The French capital has been the site of violent protests and civil unrest over the past month, but despite that (and shutting down events at NFL House on Saturday), the league still plans to hold today’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints.
Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers agreed with the decision to play; on Friday, he told the media, “This game means a lot to the NFL. If it wasn’t safe, then I’m sure we wouldn’t be here.”
