TJ Watt's wife breaks ranks with NFL march toward Paris game questioning how playing there makes sense

Count Dani Watt as the lone voice in the NFL wilderness questioning the league's wisdom about playing Sunday's game in France amid civil unrest that has rocked Paris and other parts of the country.

Even as the league's march toward playing its first-ever game in France seems inexorable with no one else publicly questioning going into a riot-torn country, Watt asked one simple question on her Instagram story relating to how the game remains on schedule: "Tell me how this one makes sense???" Watt posted.

Dani Watt is T.J.

Watt's wife.

T.J.

Watt is one of the Pittsburgh Steelers' best players and perhaps their best defensive player.

And as such, he's scheduled to board a charter flight with his teammates to France on Thursday in advance of the Steelers playing the New Orleans Saints at Stade de France , 20 miles or so from the center of Paris, where cars were burned and stores have been looted in recent days.

You know what else Dani Watt is? She's the first person connected to the NFL to ask this fundamental and logical question.

No one else has done that.

No one else – not any coach, player or even any politician in either Louisiana or Pennsylvania – has been so candid about what is about to happen.

So, to echo Watt, how does this one make sense? NFL FRANCE PREPARATIONS CONTINUE AS STEELERS SPEAK WITH LEAGUE, LOUISIANA GOV JEFF LANDRY HEADS TO PARIS The NFL has said, and insisted again on Tuesday, that all is well.

OutKick has reported multiple times in the past three days that the league is full steam ahead on playing this game.

Security has been heightened.
