Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the Packers will face the Eagles in a Week 1 matchup but does not mention which team will be hosting the game. This creates confusion and implies that both teams are equally responsible for hosting when only one team is designated as such.
The article mentions Green Bay's second international regular-season appearance, following their game in London in 2022 but does not mention any other previous international games. This creates the impression that this will be the Packers first time playing internationally when they have played previously.
The article states that tickets to the game are not currently available through the Packers and mentions a ticket package is available through On Location, which implies it's an exclusive deal but does not mention any other options for purchasing tickets.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the Packers will play against the Eagles on Friday night in Week 1 of the NFL season. However, this information is incorrect as there are only two games scheduled for Week 1 and neither involve international teams playing each other on a Friday night.
The article quotes Rob Demovsky as saying 'We want to make sure that we're not at a competitive disadvantage in terms of how long it takes us to get to Brazil'. This statement implies that there were concerns about the logistics of traveling from Green Bay-Austin Straubel International Airport, but this is not clear from the article.
The article states that 'the Packers were able to fly to London out of Green Bay-Austin Straubel International Airport'. This statement implies that the flight was successful, but it is not clear if there were any issues with the logistics of flying from Green Bay-Austin Straubel International Airport.
The article claims that 'the first-ever game in South America' will be played between the Packers and Eagles on Friday, Sept. 6. However, this is not true as there are only two games scheduled for Week 1 of the NFL season and neither involve international teams playing each other on a Friday night.
Fallacies
(80%)
The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it quotes Rob Demovsky as the author of the article. The Packers president Mark Murphy is also quoted in the article and his statements are used to support a claim made by Chris Canty about playing football on Friday nights. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of Brazilian soccer fans liking community-owned teams like Green Bay Packers.
Rob Demovsky is an NFL reporter at ESPN and covers the Green Bay Packers.

Rob Demovsky has a clear bias towards the Packers and their international games. He uses language that dehumanizes the Eagles by referring to them as 'unsportsmanlike' which is not an objective statement. Additionally, he quotes Mark Murphy who expresses concerns about logistics for his team but also says they would be glad to go if chosen.
