A
tweet
from EA Sports announces that due to the civil unrest in the United
States they are postponing the
Madden NFL 21
announcement they planned to make today (thanks
VentureBeat). They are taking a strong stand on the situation:
IT'S
GAME TIME
Tomorrow, we had committed to celebrating Madden NFL 21 with you, but we're not
going to do that now.
We stand with our African American / Black community of friends, players,
colleagues and partners. Our immediate attention is on actions we can take to
drive change against the unjust treatment and systemic bias that is plaguing the
nation and our world.
We'll find another time to talk football with you. Because this is bigger than a
game, bigger than sports, and needs all of us to stand together and commit to
change.
