This is not the reality, but NFL lovers can rejoice in the news. EA Sports has announced that it will be possible to play with Colin Kaepernick in the next Madden, a benchmark in American football video games. He will be listed as a free agent with a score of 81 out of 100. This will make him the top performing quarterback of the free agents.
An evocative celebration for Kaepernick
The direction of EA Sports explained to have worked in collaboration with the player to organize his virtual return. It will be possible to see him celebrating with his fist in the air as a symbol of Black Power. Of course, fans will also be able to admire the “Kaepernicking”, which is the atypical way in which he celebrated victorious deeds by kissing his bicep tattoos.
As a reminder, Colin Kaepernick had put one knee on the ground on September 1, 2016 as a sign of protest against police violence. At the end of that season he was playing with the San Fransisco 49ers, he had chosen to be a free agent, but no franchise had offered him contracts. Since then, he hasn’t replayed a single NFL game.
