“Who Thought This Was A Good Celebration In The First Place?” – Following The Recent Damar Hamlin Incident, Madden Fans Are Asking EA To Remove The CPR Celebration From The Game

Sports video games are a really tricky bit of software to make since most of the games that follow the routine setup of a field sports have to the clear speck of the actual game played by real players to satisfy the fanbase of the sport by giving them the replica of the sport on screen.

This is also why there are huge advancements in the gaming industry to make ultra-realistic sports sims that give off the vibes to be real. But with the recent Damar Hamlin incident it seems that even video game buffs have gotten into the impression that realism does not always reflects good.

This gets even more interesting as Madden fans approach EA to change a very specific celebration animation from the game, that they think is a bit insensitive following the Damar Hamlin incident.

Madden fans appeal to EA to change the animation for team celebrations following the Damar Hamlin incident

While playing Madden, if you haven’t already, you will find that the players go into a celebration animation after a particular touchdown if played with particular teams. The animation basically shows the player scoring the touchdown laying on the gridiron, while a few of their teammates circle him and give a false CPR, trying to tease the opponent and show support to their scorer.

Basically, this celebration originated from NBA that was brought to NFL by teams like Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals, which was later adapted to the game published by EA.

However, now fans are asking for this animation to get removed as they think that this is a morally wrong celebration, making fans ask, “Who Thought This Was A Good Celebration In The First Place?”

Other fans also said things like, “I agree and the chiefs should be banned from the playoffs and lose all draft picks.” While other fans said, “The Titans should also be penalized for the choking celebration they have done for the last half of the season….very distasteful.” Thus, proper banter was seen online enraging between fans of different teams who thought that celebrations for particular teams should also be removed.
