EA Sports boasts a history of scrubbing profane lyrics by reviewing

    EA Sports boasts a history of scrubbing profane lyrics by reviewing the games' soundtracks and easily presenting the squeaky clean versions. With Madden 19, it will take things a tad further by editing out a reasonably easy name drop inside the politically polarizing figure.
    Colin Kaepernick will be the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who sparked the excitment of professional athletes kneeling from MUT 19 Coins the national anthem to protest racial injustices in America. He essentially sacrificed his career correctly. It left him without employment, seemingly blackballed by all NFL teams.
    It also cost him a mention that carries a Madden 19 track. As seen from the video below, Kaepernick's name is cut from Big Sean's verse within the song "Big Bank." The lyric should be "Feed me in your wolves, now I lead those and shit, you boys all cap, I'm more Colin Kaepernick, I'm rare as affordable healthcare (oh God)."
    Also worth noting will be the fact "Big Bank" debuted in late May because lead single off rapper YG's upcoming album Stay Dangerous. EA Sports revealed the Madden 19 soundtrack on July 25. That's two full months where EA could've quietly pulled the track as opposed to releasing a version where Kaepernick's name mmoah.com is treated as profane and inappropriate for the children.
    Instead, it's highly likely that EA faced late pressure in the NFL and/or its sponsors to cut back the mention of Kaepernick. This particular partnership is lucrative enough that of us'll never hear EA speak ill from the NFL because Madden generally is really a goldmine. So, such cowardly kowtowing mustn't be that surprising whatsoever. Embarrassing, yet not surprising.
