The Brazilians are not happy with Slay or Slayton. It looks like Darius Slayton (the Giants wide receiver) was getting some heat after Darius Slay (the Eagles DB) said he didn’t want to go to Brazil because it was dangerous. Darius Slayton set the record straight on Twitter:

The ironic part is no one in Brazil can see this tweet because the platform is banned. That’s why Eagles beat reporters currently have their wives working around the clock tweeting updates like, “Isaiah Rodgers is OUT”, back in the homeland.

How about Brazilians acting like your WIP uncles on this one? They’re yelling about Alshon Jeffries when they should be yelling about Alshon Jeffrey. You’d think a country that has a million soccer players with different variations of the name Ronaldo running around would be able to tell the difference between Darius Slay and Darius Slayton. Apparently not:

People are researching the murder rate in Sao Paulo and Philadelphia just to own Darius Slay. When I find myself doing actual research to own someone in an argument usually that’s the sign for me to go outside and touch some grass.

Now were Slay’s comments dumb? Probably. But there are going to be 10 more out of him this season just using the law of averages. What you can’t say though is his comments didn’t have any effect. Sao Paulo called in the big guns and tightened up security for this game after the players complained according to ESPN.
