NFL teams aren’t the only ones who don’t want the baggage the Colin Kaepernick brings with him after he started this persistent National Anthem controversy.
The popular football game ‘Madden 19’ has actually edited out Kaepernick’s name from a music soundtrack they are using in the game.
Listen:
bad enough @Kaepernick7 still not signed, but now they even edit his name out in this year’s @EAMaddenNFL during @BigSean verse, smh pic.twitter.com/3nvkB26z5r

According to TMZ, the lyrics you are supposed to be hearing are:
“Feed me to the wolves now I lead the pack and sh*t. You boys all cap, I’m more Colin Kaepernick”
That’s amazing. I guess they don’t want to offend people and give them a reason not to buy the game. I certainly can’t blame them for that.
But the flip side is that this is going viral a week before the game is supposed to officially drop in stores.
As an aside, TMZ tells us that Kaepernick won’t be a player in the game either, not because of the controversy, but because he’s not part of an NFL team. Awesome. another benefit to Kaepernick not being picked up.
