Sports fans and gamers around the world are jubilant after EA Sports' recent announcement that they will be adding Greta Thunberg as a playable quarterback in Madden NFL 21.

"After we added socially conscious non-football-player Colin Kaepernick as a playable QB on every team in Madden, we realized we didn't have to stop there," said EA's CEO Andrew Wilson. "We are thrilled to be adding Greta Thunberg to the mix as a tremendously overpowered character! With every down, Greta will help Madden fans remember how terrible they are for killing the planet."

If some DE gets a clean shot at Greats does the game shows her as a bleeding corpse?

They need to replace the dog in that meme with the fat rolly-polly gal who is pounding her fist down and yelling.

I see that EA has Kaepernick rated ahead of Cam Newton - the starting QB for the Pats this season. I wonder if Greta could get a higher rating too.

Any team that has her will get a 10 point starting advantage and she gets the salary of the top players.

The 10 points can be justified because of all the institutional and systemic discrimination towards women in the past: restitution.

It is strongly encouraged that all players and audience members listen to her talk about global warming, sexism, racism, and covid, since her unique perspectives as a 17 year with her vast life experience will bring new perspectives and help in us understanding things better.

If you disagree with any of this, you are a sexist, racist, global warming and covid denier.

Choose Kaepernick when your team really needs its QB to throw a pick six...or two.

Should have made her a kicker. She can kick 90 yard field goals because capitalists have damaged the atmosphere and it is much thinner than it used to be. :)

Greta has a Madden QB rating of 140 and wears a U.N. badge on her helmet

My sources tell me the Madden programmers have made that impossible. Quarterback Greta simply cannot be sacked. And your team is assessed a 15 yard penalty if you even try.

It’s called a ‘Personal Foul Against the Planet’.

Forget about QB.

She is my pick to put right up on the line, against the 300 lb guy with the 44 inch thighs.

Although this is satire, it's also truth in that the corporate media conglomerates that sell viewers to advertisers and the companies that advertise with them see little distinction between an NFL quarterback, Greta Thunberg, and any of the Kardashians.

The only difference in those scenarios is which sucker is in the viewing audience.

The saddest part is, I’m sure them adding Kaepernick is true.

Madden? Isn't he the manager of the baseball Angels?
What's he doing doing football. This is outrageous.
How can he manage baseball and lend his name to a football game ?
There should be a law about this...

John Madden is rolling over in his grave that EA is putting that Anti American jackass in the game.
