Madden is why EA is such a shit company. They never pay for all their anti-consumer shenanigans because Madden makes so much money they never even feel it when one of their other titles tanks.
Yep. Fuck the NFL. This isn't 1960 anymore. The only people who still own slaves are Muslims, China, and child sex traffickers. Want to end racism and slavery? Go after those sick fucks!
If I were a BLM leader, I’d argue that team owners still own slaves: Rich white guys buy and trade young, athletic men (mostly minorities) to do their work. Instead of picking cotton, they’re putting balls in goals for an audience.
If you frame the narrative right, I bet we can get the marxists to push to break up the all the big sports leagues in the name of equity and equality.
Something like this might work on crazy radicals:
“Owners should sell their teams to minorities. Where is my power to the players movement? We should boycott until the league is entirely player-owned, so that they are free from their rich white masters.”
Libs hate sports anyway. This gives them a reason to hate them more.
It's funny because bread and circus were supposed to distract the populace from the real problems but they overplayed their hands and prematurely woke people up from it
I think it is interesting that they did not choose to label the end zones with, "Black Lives Matter." This shows that the perception of the movement is changing to acknowledgement that the movement is political and/or associated with violence.
Exactly. They are smarter than NBA, they try not to alienate ordinary people because "everyone agrees racism is bad". However bet the left will attack NFL for refusing to say Black Lives Matter and conservatives will be upset about NFL saying U.S is a racist country
Still, the implication is that they think that their own fans, who spend thousands of dollars to make blacks millionaires, are somehow racist.
Sportsball was always boring to watch (my opinion), but it always had a certain level of historical inertia on its side. Now, the coof and Floyd meltdowns are breaking that inertia at the same time that Boomers are heading into fixed income mode. Sportsball is likely dead as we know it. what comes out the other side is anyone's guess.
NFL owners are notoriously greedy fucks so I can’t understand their motivation for this. Are they getting paid by Soros-types somehow? Maybe buying blocks of tickets or paying sponsorships somehow? There HAS to be a financial incentive for this.
The world we live in has some level of fascism in that monstrous multinational corps have an outsize say on public discourse. These corporations want ever growing markets to sell into. The birth rates in industrialized white nations have fallen and thus growing the market requires importing the third world.
The large corps thus direct discourse in a manner that suits them. They use advertising money as “dollar diplomacy” to incentivize what they want said and punish dissidents like Tucker. NFL, MLB and NASCAR are bowing to these funding pressures. In the short run it is logical, but it will destroy brand equity over a longer timeframe. The leagues hope people will forget in 2 years and come back.
I haven't watched professional sports as a genuine past-time for well over a decade and a half. Long gone are the days I'd spend hours keeping up with box scores and stats, and spend all day Sunday watching sports of some kind.
Fantasy leagues came in just as I was leaving.
I concluded it was all idolatry of the modern kind, and gave it all up.
Life is much better without professional sports, or its spin-offs (video games and fantasy leagues).
Yeah as my one guilty pleasure I was going to grit my teeth and watch the nfl like always to escape all the shit. But at this point I’ll be skipping the nfl.
NFL trying to thread the needle. They will be attacked by the left for refusing to say Black Lives Matter while also alienating conservatives by accusing them of being racists
I'll start worrying about black people's problems when they quit causing problems for me. I don't care about "racism" or police "brutality" when blacks commit over half of violent crime.
This is such a racist country that we elected a BLACK president TWICE. And what did that BLACK president do for blacks during those 8 years....NOTHING. He abandoned his hometown of Chicago where he was BEGGED for years to return and work with the black community. His presidential library promise was to employ blacks from the south side of Chicago and build them a park which they were all encouraged to use UNTIL the project was approved and HE is NOT following through with his promise to his voters...SPEAKS VOLUMES about "his black side" as he and Michelle spew more B.S. now while living in elite white neighborhoods in mansions.
The NFL needs to die out anyway. The sport played at that level causes severe lifelong brain damage in 90%+ of its players. It needs to just cease to exist.
How about ending death. No one should die ever. You would have a better chance of being successful.
If they really wanted to end racism, they should start preaching that shit in Asian, Hispanic, and black communities. By far, the three most racist communities in America. But they all get a pass- especially Asians.
This is so true. I roomed with two japanese girls one summer. They openly referred to SE asians (Vietnam, Thailand etc) as subhuman and did not consider blacks to be “American”.
I had been raised to think that only whites were racist so it was quite the mini red pill...
My university team posted a clenched BLM fist on their instagram page. Unfortunately, this crap is even in college football now. I unfollowed everything and will never give them another cent. My parents are doing the same and they have had season tickets and been donors to the program since the 1980s.
Ah yes, EA Sports the last bastion of morality and time well spent.
Until you realize you're still paying to watch these morons prance across a digital field....
Commie bastards!
And they're getting a cut from the licensing deal.
i hear the newest madden got a .4 out of 10 on metacritic, but then i went to look and it was actually at .3

"Take all of us" sounds tempting.
Already done. I will NEVER watch professional sports again.
I've been disappointed that the usual group is back to talking about their fantasy football league bullshit. It's like they can't move on.

I turned my back on all mainstream American culture and I feel a clarity of mind and cleanliness of spirit I haven't felt in decades.
Same. Feel closer to god and doing my best to live righteously.
It's funny because bread and circus were supposed to distract the populace from the real problems but they overplayed their hands and prematurely woke people up from it
Yeah, gonna go fishing instead
Absolutely, get back to connection with natural settings, so much better for you
Racism was gone but the left brought it back to push their little bolshevik revolution
Ask the NFL and NBA why there isn't exactly proportionate representation in their league?

End Racism is just their code for End Whites

Thought I was going to get cable again for football season. Between this & the college players doing marches & sitting out for the season, I'm done.
Ok, hire me. I'm white. You need more diversity on your team.
Bet based some of the based owners sue the league in less than 12 mo for committing self immolation.
Who would have thought a bunch of guys in tights dogpiling on top of each other and playing with balls could be so gay
tight end
wide receiver

No bailouts for when it dies!!!!
Well, The Rock bought the XFL. Wonder if he will cuck that up too?

Good, maybe all this woke shit will finally motivated the grilling boomers to action lol
My husband was wavering a bit on boycotting the NFL completely. But this bullshit sealed the deal. He's totally done with football.
Don't need to sell a marketable product if all your money is coming from billionaire investors; just have to please those investors.
Good ol' patronage system, democrats taking us back to the feudal age.
Cause people tuning in to watch a ball be thrown around really want to be lectured about how reeeecist they are.
Get woke - Go broke
I hereby swear to no longer support professional sports until white men have equal representation on the field/court.
I can't wait until Nascar writes a never-ending circle of virtue signaling masturbation.
Do not feed your enemies with your dollars.
"Full refund cheerfully provided!"
All of those people who spend their Sundays watching ultra-wealthy black people play games on TV are secretly klansmen?
I really didn’t need any more reasons to not watch the nfl but if they insist on me doubling down than so be it.
End racism against whites? Sounds good to me NFL. Wake me up when you dismantle Affirmative Action and we can talk.
End <of the NFL> Zone
They saw that "Black Lives Matter" is a violent political insurgency; at least this is a start in the right direction. I will still not be watching.
If they really wanted to end racism, they would be calling to abolish the Democrat Party.
nfl is MEGA CUCKED and the xfl still failed.
muhhh mooonoooopppppppuuuuuuuuulllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
My university team posted a clenched BLM fist on their instagram page. Unfortunately, this crap is even in college football now. I unfollowed everything and will never give them another cent.

Good! Even more reason to not watch over paid children.
Watching Sports is like beating off to porno.....much better to find the real thing
i.e. We should be exercising via sports, but "playing"...not during a Fourth Turning!
Watch Pro Sports?
You are funding Antifa, Commie.
The NFL needs more white players. Diversity both ways boys.
