TJ Watt’s Wife Questions Why Steelers-Saints Game in Paris Is Moving Ahead amid Riots

TJ Watt's wife, Dani, is questioning the NFL's decision to proceed with the Steelers-Saints game in Paris amid ongoing riots in the city. Dani shared her concerns on Instagram, asking, "Tell me how this makes sense??" The NFL stated that they continue to work closely with local authorities and partners on security matters. The game is scheduled for Sunday, Oct.

25, at the Stade de France, which previously hosted the 2024 Olympic venue. Dani's post included a graphic from CBS Pittsburgh highlighting the NFL's stance. The Saints arrived in Paris on Monday and are currently staying outside the city center in Versailles. Riots have been occurring in Paris since mid-September, sparked by protests over the school walkout demanding better resources and staffing.

Paris has witnessed protests throughout the city, with citizens calling for fairer living costs, increased government action, and addressing the wealth gap. The NFL maintains that preparations for the game are ongoing and that they are working closely with local authorities and partners for security.
