Madden NFL 2021 is adding Colin Kaepernick, who remains an unsigned free agent after he started protesting police brutality as a San Francisco 49er in 2016 by kneeling during the national anthem, as a quarterback option in the latest version of the popular video game.
“Colin Kaepernick is one of the top free agents in football and a starting-caliber quarterback. The team at EA SPORTS, along with millions of Madden NFL fans, want to see him back in our game,” the company said in a tweeted statement.
“Knowing that our EA Sports experiences are platforms for players to create, we want to make Madden NFL a place that reflects Colin's position and talent, rates him as a starting QB, and empowers our fans to express their hopes for the future of football,” it added.
The company also acknowledged its own decision to remove Kaepernick’s name from rapper Big Sean’s verse on the song “Big Bank” on the soundtrack of Madden '19. At the time, Big Sean blasted the creators of Madden over the decision, and the EA later apologized.
“We’ve had a long relationship with Colin through Madden NFL and worked through our past soundtrack mistakes,” Madden said in its statement Tuesday.

Just put him in the “kick returner” position.
In the modern game, that’s all he will do.
Yeah, if you pick him then he just kneels as soon as the game starts and refuses to play.
Even computer football will be destroyed.
He’s a specialist in running out the clock, obviously.

So when the game starts, he just goes to the parking lot and complains all the time?
Just line him up as a nose tackle, and have the other team run straight up the middle for a few plays. The software should put him on IR for the rest of the season.

Is there anything the Democrat SJW’s don’t destroy?
Haha just kidding. The Democrat SJW’s destroy everything they can.
>>Is he programmed to take a knee?<<
Then spend the whole game throwing interceptions.
So does he throw uncatchable passes and run for his life every time the O-line fails, just like in real life?
Madden, are you kidding?? This guy, like you, is a has been!!
This could be fun on defense.
He’ll take a knee on every down
When I was a fan of the NFL, I played a lot of Madden on Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and PC. I have the 2017 version for XBox One; but I am so bored with football that I haven’t even played that for years.
The only person who wants him in the NFL is Kaepernick. But then again he makes more money as an outsider whiner.
“Colin Kaepernick is one of the top free agents in football and a starting-caliber quarterback.”
The last year he played out of 11 starts, he only won 1 game. We’re supposed to ignore that important stat.
I actually did have to check and ensure that it wasn’t The Babylon Bee.
I wish I bought that thing so I could not buy it!
