Summary
The Pittsburgh Steelers scrapped their planned Steelers House event in Paris after recent incidents in the Bastille neighborhood, marking the clearest team-level retreat from the NFL's public safety assurances.
The NFL still says Sunday's France game is safe and confirmed its own Fan House will go ahead Friday and Saturday at 46 Rue Cambon, expecting several thousand French and American fans.
Security concerns have grown amid protests over the high cost of living in Paris, with clashes this week involving projectiles, tear gas and street fires.
Roger Goodell said he will attend the game and has consulted Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose office said the U.S. embassy in France believes the event will be fine.
