EA scrubs Kaepernick’s name

Los Angeles: Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback seemingly shunned by the NFL over his anthem protests, has now had his name censored from the soundtrack of the league's official video game.

The omission was discovered by a Twitter user on Thursday, prompting an apology from game developer Electronic Arts, which said the decision to blank out the reference to the player on "Madden NFL 19" was an "unfortunate mistake."
