Glad to see a great company like EA embracing progress.

Will they also be playing the "Black National Anthem" before every game?

Whats that? Is it different from the American one because that seems racist to make black people have a different anthem

No but they're giving players the option to replace every QB with Colin Kaepernick.

thst seems so weird to me to separate national anthem by race

but then again American politics are HUGE on monitoring erasure in the sense that they act like race is white vs black with the rare Hispanic or Native American.

The Washington Redskins football team will drop its name and logo following decades of protests by Indigenous activists.

Let's be real -- It was mostly white activists.

DLC allows kneeling before the game...

I remember when the NFL was about football. Between then being overly political, and the whole brain injury thing, I think the league will have some financial challenges coming up.

This. I mean, the logo for the team itself was designed by a native american and based on an actual person.

Ugh

I hate this corporate pandering to the vocal minority

I read somewhere that 90% of Indians are not even offended by the team name. If anything, this might anger quite a few of them.

Democrats are just living up to their history, by removing Indians from everything.

Did you even read the article? They're only doing that because the team is changing it. They don't want to have to do extra work.

I don't watch football and still know this is one of the top stupidest things they've done. Oh well, when sports goes away I won't cry. That money can go to better sources, like the police dept.

sorry man, we defunded all of them

also how would nfl money go to the police?

People will complain about this but to be fair NOBODY....NO BODY...nobody on earth should ever buy/play a madden game ever again.

Game has been trash for at least a decade. Why even care about the washington team name in game, when nobody should give a single fuck about Madden in the first place?

From what Ive seen, its the other way. Most people didnt care, but the vocal minority always cares about everything. Especially if its something that doesnt affect them, from what Ive seen...

madden and EA do indeed suck ass

Some people really love the game and buy every one that comes out. Personally, Im not a fan of most sports games (I do like the Mario ones, though). But some buy em the same game every year. I assume they change something up. Maybe new players and stuff? More modes? Idk...
---

its the kind of shit like people actually having discussion about Madden team/player ratings as if they are relevant at all.

Sure, EA has the NFL license, and the alternative is not playing a current gen NFL game, but the alternative also means having morals and not supporting unabashed trash.

Plus, there is nothing at all wrong with 2000s maddens of NFL 2k5 people love, and other games.

Madden is such a buggy, incompetent mess with less features than the mid 00s versions(create a team? anybody?) I would actually love to meet somebody who really loves the game and thinks its great who also isnt in middle school.

all they do is update the roster

the washington eradicates the white people erased the native americans from washington

I guess that makes sense. Though, I wouldnt think that requires a new game. Maybe every 5 years. Or even 2-3 years would be better. A slight roster change doesnt seem like the best reason to buy a game. But I guess it works for them...

Then refund them. Us educated types would prefer some help preventing looting, fires, and senseless damage. Alternatively store and home owners can handle it directly, not think twice, and I would absolutely never convict someone defending their property.

I dunno but we wouldn't be wasting millions on some men throwing a little ball, nor buying EA's yearly recycle.

Well maybe if you were a little more educated youd know that defunding the police doesnt mean take away 100% of their funding/get rid of the police :)

it generates a ton of revenue

idk if youre as smart/educated as you think you are lol

also, the ball is pretty damn big. you ever held one or are you too educated for that sort of thing?

That's their end goal though. We won't allow it.

For who? The ones getting paid have more than enough. Sports drives up the cost of cable you know. Like, a lot.

Oh I totally am even if saying so makes you want to believe it less.

Different sports, different sizes. That part is irrelevant.

no it isnt, its about not giving more than half of cities entire budgets to the police and instead investing the money into the communities because clearly the police arent doing anything helpful with that money and are just further militarizing themselves

Dont cable companies usually have a different package for sports? So, wouldnt it not mess with regular prices too much, but with a specific sports package? Not too mention, they could probably get the ESPN things package deal with Hulu and Disney+ and that would work just as well, right?

even the majority of indians don't care about the name. it's just a percentage of a small tribe that is upset with the name

More than likely nothing against the rules.

The mods have openly stated that you don't have to do anything that is against the rules to get moderated, you simply need a consensus of their biased group. And I am sure that if we were to look into the people getting moderated and the actual things they said, that we would not be very surprised to find out that only 1 group of people are actually getting moderated most of the time and that, in many cases, no rules are actually broken or are, in the best of cases, questionably offensive or against the rules.

I am also ready to bet that we can easily narrow which group is always being offended by what is being said.

And that must be the reason why Duckbear always gets a free pass
