My fearless prediction: It will be some combination of “I understand the concerns of the protesters.” and “Please, please stop all the violence.”
Macron might even cry on camera. That’s always a possibility with Euroweenies.

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.

Another hotbed being ignored by the American press is the increasing size and violence in Albanian “protests”.
Just issued press release: President Macron is preparing an address to the whole nation.
Riots, wilding , fighting and overturned cars on fire
Just like a night in after an Eagles win
So much looting and destruction of street shops. Not being shown in the American press.
“”What could possibly go wrong?””
THAT HAS to be everyone’s first thought.....
I bet the NFL has probably already paid their protection money. It will be interesting to see what happens if the “students” try and disrupt the game.
No difference if the game was held in Mexico City.
Will the quarterbacks throw bombs?

It will be okay because the NFL says so! REALLY?
France is a failed civilization. We had to rescue them twice. There won’t be a third time.
It was one thing to rescue France from the Hun. You can’t rescue them from themselves.
Ewwwww, we French can’t possibly vote for those Le Pen people. They are mean!!! Sure, we are unhappy, but we can never ever vote for anyone preaching tough medicine. Carry forward as we are!! What could go wrong?
Europe is on the brink of civil war between the native European people and the legal and illegal migrants, most of whom are militant Muslims
The EU politicians and police are on the side of the Muslims
“School Conditions”
What BS.
The hubris and greed of Roger Goodell and the NFL know no limits. They think they are god and that nothing can touch them.
Saints are scheduled to leave tonight for Paris, where they play the Steelers next Sunday at Stade de France. Despite intense riots and social unrest there, the NFL says the game is on.
“Preparations continue as scheduled for NFL events and the game at Stade de France next Sunday,” the NFL said. “We continue to work closely with local authorities and partners on all operational and security matters. We are also providing the two clubs with regular updates. There’s been no disruption or impact at league sites.”— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 18, 2026
That stadium is in St. Denis. Mostly Muslims.
CBS CONVIENENTLY OMITTING THE SAND-PEOPLE & LEFTISTS VIOLENTLY DESTROYING BUILDINGS, BUSINESSES AND ASSAULTING OTHERS. It isn’t merely “students” upset with school finding. What distorting, dishonest nitwits.
