West AfricaSun Sep 15 2024
The NFL's proposed match in Brazil has sparked controversy among American fans, with some calling for a boycott due to the country's recent government ban on a particular product. Amidst the chaos, Dallas Cowboys' linebacker Micah Parsons has proposed an alternative location for the NFL's international expansion - West Africa.
Parsons' proposal has sparked curiosity, and we can't help but wonder: what if he's onto something? Could West Africa be the perfect destination for the NFL's first-ever match in Africa? Or is this a misguided attempt to bypass the controversy surrounding Brazil?
The debate has only just begun, and we're asking: what do you think? Would you support the NFL's decision to host its first-ever match in West Africa? Or do you think the league should stick with its original plan to host the match in Brazil?
But before we dive into the pros and cons of Parsons' proposal, let's take a step back and look at the current situation. The NFL has already made arrangements to host the match in Arena Corinthians, São Paulo, despite the ongoing wildfires and disease outbreaks in the country. One of the players, Darius Slay, has even expressed his concerns about visiting Brazil, citing the crime rate in the country.
