EA Sports is working hard to make the new Madden NFL 19 game be as realistic as possible and it’s latest acts proves just that.
On Thursday, a Twitter user noticed that on Madden 19, a song by Big Sean that is featured on the game had Colin Kaepernick’s name censored out of it.
See for yourself:

The video was also retweeted by Kaepernick’s outspoken girlfriend and ended up showing up the artist’s timeline, who ripped the NFL for their latest action to completely shun the former 49ers QB out of the league:
It’s disappointing and appalling @NFL & @EA took @Kaepernick7’s name out of my verse on Big Bank for Madden 19, like it was a curse word. When he’s not a curse, he’s a gift! Nobody from my team approved any of this.

Kaepernick is currently suing the NFL for collusion.
