Cowboys-Ravens in Rio, the field conditions at Maracana Stadium are less than optimal

I know lol, I wouldn't mind if it was England or Japan. But Brazil has proven to be a crap idea since 2024.

I think they're all crap ideas. Lol

I mean, Japan at least has a decent professional league that I've been on record here about. England has been successful. Brazil is just.....not it haha. Check what Brad Williams had to say about his experience in Brazil haha.

Never. It is Roger Goodell's mad dream to have an international nfl

He proceeds at the leisure of the owners. He has never made a decision in deference to the NFL, in his life, without the expressed consent of the owners. He’s a pawn. Just like fans are. The only difference is he doesn’t have to pay for logo key chains like moron fans do.

I think Brazil is going to lag behind the US specifications for maintaining an NFL caliber playing surface . And if reports coming out of Brazil are correct that seems to be the case . Unfortunately Dallas has to try and win a game .

Years ago I think his name was George Toma and he worked for the Chiefs . The NFL sent him to overseas games ahead of time to assist the home country in preparing the surface .

Brazil freaking has the World Cup and other major tournaments regularly. Those are a much bigger stage than the NFL in case you weren't paying attention.

Give your xenophobia a rest and research facts.

Ladies and gentlemen!

Here is a great example of a post that you should never make.

It is like 100s of years of sports elsewhere never permeated his brain. So sad that some folks can't absorb facts

That’s why the NFL is concerned with the playing surface in Brazil you clown . Jerry was asked about it after the game it’s not “ xenophobia “ so take your little PC attitude and shove it . Your make believe world is nonsense . “ Beta “ about sums up your screen name perfectly .

I just hope noone gets hurt. We really need to stop with these games in places that don't have safe playing conditions.

It's also a great imposition to have the players and coaches having to train do the macarena during breaks in the upcoming game in Rio.

I doubt that they"re playing on the soccer grass.

I know for the European games, stadium operators have to replace their regular grass surface with a new field grown specifically for the NFL game - using the same grass mix as is normally used in the NFL.

I expect the same applies to other overseas games.
