Brazil is, for the timing being, an investor safe haven. A marxist is now in charge so it’s only a matter of time before it crashes and burns just like Venezuela, but for now there is still tremendous ROI in Brazil.
The NFL likes money and wants more eyes on TV so it can sell us more Pfizer ads.
Playing in Brazil theoretically grows the NFL audience.
Ironically, this falls in lock step with the NFL pretending to “care about player safety” with all these chickenshit rule changes like hip drop tackles and concussion protocol, blah blah blah, while they simultaneously extend the season an extra game and force players to play on Thurs nights.
Forcing players to play in a 3rd world shite hole where they can’t leave the hotel falls exactly in line with who the NFL actually is.
Edited to say I will absolutely be watching tonight because I have Love and Jacobs going in fantasy leagues!

Money
It’s all about the money. Greed. When is enough enough?
In the NFL it’s never.

Exactly. There's an American football market in Japan. I don't understand this move by the NFL.

Its currently 12:35 tomorrow in Tokyo. The timezone/international date line stuff makes it logistically difficult. People who go to Japan often have severe, severe insomnia and jet lag.
It would be a nightmare for NFL teams for a regular season games.

Brazil is a hugely populous country.
They are trying to expand the game globally and taking it places its never been.
So the answer is: Money.
This, combined with the fact that our entertainment entities are assisting in the third world takeover of our country. The NFL is getting its viewers more and more comfortable with accepting third world attributes.
When Americans are eventually replaced with the third world imports, the NFL will want these folks to be fans.

I promise you the nfl has plenty of data to support this

I hate the NFL. It’s money money money. How can we suck the most money out of everything?
The games are boring as hell. There’s like 4 stadiums that are consistently loud
Chiefs, Bills, Steelers and Cleveland. The rest are corporate drags

If you look in the dictionary by the word greed you will find the definition the NFL.
They are more worried about making a few bucks to put their players in a high risk situation.

The time zone is too long. London is already a shite show.

The NFL doesn’t give a shite about player safety, because if they did, they wouldn’t be playing 17 games in 18 weeks and having teams play games with 3 days of rest (playing Sunday and then on Thursday). The NFL cares about money though.
