Eagles cornerback Darius Slay apologized after wondering on his podcast why the NFL would 'send us somewhere where the crime rate is this high?'
The veteran cornerback apologized after wondering on his podcast why the NFL would “send us somewhere where the crime rate is this high?”apologized on social media Tuesday night for comments he made about the team’s season-opening trip to Brazil last week on his podcast.
The Eagles, according to assistant general manager Jon Ferrari, have not been told they can’t leave the team hotel.Asked on Monday, a few days after the podcast aired, how he felt about the trip, Slay pulled back on the criticism. As a reminder, green jerseys are not banned at Corinthians Arena, despite what your favorite, least-informed social media account told you. The local soccer team, Corinthians, wears black and white, and their rival, Palmeiras, wears green. The Derby Paulista is one of the fiercest rivalries in Brazilian soccer. There is an informal ban on wearing green for soccer games in the stadium, but green jerseys will be seen on Packers and Eagles fans Friday night.
