Madden 18: EA apologises after muting reference to Colin Kaepernick in game

Colin Kaepernick has had his name mysteriously removed from the upcoming Madden NFL 2018 game. The footballer – who will not appear in the game because he has been without a contract since last year – also had his name muted in a song on the game, in the same way as happens to swear words. Developers EA Sports said that it had "messed up" and that the name had been removed as a mistake. It said that the decision had been made amid confusion about rights – claiming that his name had been muted because EA was not sure whether they would be allowed to use it. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
