Madden 21 Gets Relentlessly Roasted For Adding Colin Kaepernick & Giving Him An 81 Rating (TWEETS)

On Tuesday, Madden went super viral after they announced the addition of free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick to its 2021 video game.

EA lost the rights to Kaepernick’s likeness when he lost his job in the NFL, but after negotiating with him individually, gamers can once again play as Kaepernick in the popular video game series.

On top of adding him, they also have him throwing up the ‘black power’ fist as a celebration when he scores Touchdowns.

That was enough information for social media to go on a war path and roast the popular game.

Gonna be sad when even in Madden he gets benched for Blaine Gabbert https://t.co/nCUaClvuCs

Madden has added Colin Kaepernick to the newest version of the game, and he's rated higher than former NFL MVP Cam Newton and rookie of the year Kyler Murray.

Has Madden 21 created a mode that allows you to lose your job for failing to read a defense?

This is insanity.
