The NFL was all set to have its first-ever match in Brazil. This great business expansion suddenly found itself in the crossfire among fans due to several controversies surrounding the South American nation. The major sports league might find it difficult to please fans if they move ahead with the match in São Paulo. In the midst of the chaos, Micah Parsons has a new business idea.

While talking to the fans on The Edge by Bleacher Report, the Dallas Cowboys‘ linebacker acknowledged the Brazil controversy going on among the American fanbase of the NFL. However, he put forth a proposal to visit a new international ground that he believes will be welcoming to the sport of American Football.

“I know there was a lot of controversy with the NFL playing Brazil. But honestly, if I had to play anywhere, I would say I wanna either play like Ghana or Africa,” the LB said on the podcast. “I think they would appreciate it, man. If the NFL went all the way to Africa. I think it will be exciting.”

The patriots among American fans started to rise after the Brazilian government put a nationwide ban on X. According to these viewers, the NFL should support another American business, X in this case, and boycott going to Brazil. The online campaign is still fuming, making us wonder whether the football league is comfortable hosting the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Green Bay Packers on the 6th of September in Brazil.

If you are still wondering how a bunch of internet fans can stop a major league from expanding its business, then your doubt is valid. However, it’s not just about the fans anymore.

Will the NFL have to accept Micah Parsons’ idea?

The wonderful Amazon rainforest found itself in the midst of wildfires recently. The fire is still raging and has been reported from at least 30 cities in the country. Despite the ongoing natural disaster, the NFL has not postponed its game as the Eagles have likely made all the arrangements to host it in Arena Corinthians. If this wasn’t enough to threaten the safety of players on both teams, there has also been a disease spike in the country, primarily as a result of the wildfires. Pneumonia, rhinitis, and conjunctivitis are just a few on the list.

On top of everything, one of the athletes on the Philadelphia Eagles team is already not excited to be a part of the match. It’s not that Darius Slay doesn’t wish to compete for his team in its home game, but because of the restrictions imposed on the people visiting Brazil. The NFL pre-informed the players not to exit their hotels for long periods because of the crime rate in the country. This is why Slay has prohibited his family from coming to watch the match. Moreover, he doesn’t want to attend it either.

Amidst all the chaos and controversy regarding Brazil, it would have been easier for the NFL to cancel the event and host it someplace else if the arrangements hadn’t already been made. If not during Week 1, we can still look forward to seeing Micah Parsons’ desire come to life.

Where in Africa would you want the NFL to host its first-ever match?
