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.

What could possibly go wrong?
I’m sure Parisians will turn out in droves for the game.
“Ongoing protests over school conditions”
Yeah, keep the lie going. You don’t hate Democrat media enough.
Emmanuel Macron’s Centrist faction buried in third place behind Left and Le Pen he needs to take out Left get shot at beating Le Pen next year. My latest news, comment here...

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.
Aaron Rodgers?
“Who dat? Who dat? Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Parisians?”
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.””

“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.
**Aaron Rodgers?**
Bingo! The perfect disturber of the excrement.
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.
Nothin’ to worry ‘bout,just the french division of aunt teefa
showing their true intentions...
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.
