NFL Says Steelers-Saints Game in Paris Will Go Ahead Despite Civil Unrest in France
Photo: Washington TimesHow the sides differ Left and right sources agree the game proceeds; Daily Wire stresses violent riots and religion, and alternative sources have not covered it.
Right-leaning outlets report that the NFL is sticking with its plans to hold the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints game in Paris, even as unrest continues in the French capital. The Washington Times says the league stated on Sunday that the game remains scheduled as planned. The Daily Wire adds that ESPN's Adam Schefter shared the news on X on Sunday and gives the game date as Sunday, October 25. The Washington Post, a left-leaning outlet, likewise reports that the NFL says nothing has changed for next Sunday's game despite civil unrest.
The coverage centers on the league's decision to proceed rather than on details of the unrest, and the excerpts say nothing more about what happens next beyond the game staying on the schedule. Alternative / independent outlets had not reported this story at the time of writing, while left-leaning and right-leaning outlets had. The main difference is wording: the Post and the Times refer to civil unrest, while the Daily Wire describes violent protests and riots sweeping France and labels them Muslim riots in its headline.
