The National Football League says it is continuing forward with plans for the upcoming Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New Orleans Saints game in Paris, amid ongoing unrest in the French capital.

The Steelers and Saints are poised to play the first-ever NFL regular-season game next weekend in Paris, at the Stade de France.

Ongoing protests over school conditions in recent weeks have led to violent clashes with police. The movement, which began in the Paris region and rapidly spread nationwide, has seen teenage students in their final years of high school block access to buildings and clash with law enforcement.

“Ongoing protests over school conditions”

Yeah, keep the lie going. You don’t hate Democrat media enough.

Well you’ve got to hand it to those protesting kids in Paris. Just imagine trying to learn in a dilapidated building.

Oh come on.It oughta be fun. Hear that Greta Thunberg, now in France leading protests, will attend and wear a cheerleaders outfit on the sidelines strutting her stuff. She might even change into a burqa at halftime.Great opportunity to introduce the champions of the WNBA.The French army and what is left of the police will no doubt provide security at the stadium ( but probably not at the parking lots. Tailgating could be risky) Also how often will you see a game with plumes of smoke rising from burning buildings surrounding the stadium.

I’ll bet the players are too naive to know what’s going on there. If one or two refuse to travel then what? The NFL can switch venues on a dime. Did it before. The players need to show their reluctance to play internationally. This is a good opening.

Exactly. Everything is probably going to be just fine.

“*🇫🇷 WATCH: France’s Riots — Paul Amar Says Jewish-Owned Shops Were Targeted in Marseille*

French journalist Paul Amar, discussing the October 17 unrest in France, says Jewish-owned businesses were singled out on a street in Marseille:

“They came prepared. They had the addresses of town halls. They had addresses of Jewish shop owners.

In a street in Marseille, all businesses owned by Jews were set on fire. Businesses run by Muslims weren’t.””

It's only a few "SCUFFLES" according to CBS...

Gunther Eagleman™@GuntherEagleman
“SCUFFLES” That's the word CBS News chose.
Rioters fired mortars at police in Marseille and torched cars in Paris, and hundreds were arrested. CBS called it "scuffles" with "small groups of protesters."
They aren't reporting the news.
They're managing how you feel about it.

I've yet to hear what these "school conditions" are. Mainly I think it's just an excuse to riot.

I guess nobody told CBS that these “students” are also setting fire to things.

There won’t be any game

Americans are not being fed the usual propaganda on this situation, much less reports, and they can’t put a story together independently thinking by themselves to literally save their lives

These riots are terminal. No one is stopping them. The Muslims will not stop.
