An English footballer not only goes to prison after a sexual offense, but he is also removed from FIFA 16 by EA Sports.
Due to an affair with a minor, British football professional Adam Johnson must go to prison. This sexual offense has far-reaching consequences not only in his real life, but also his virtual likeness will be banned from the football field. The player from AFC Sunderland will now also be excluded from several football simulation games, including FIFA 16. According to a spokesperson from EA, a team update has already been released to remove Johnson from FIFA 16. However, for technical reasons, it is not possible to delete the player from all circulated versions.
Johnson had confessed to having seduced, sexually touched, and kissed a 15-year-old girl. The court sentenced him to imprisonment. The length of the sentence will be announced later. It is a necessary step for EA Sports to remove the player from all versions as soon as possible, according to Gabrielle Shaw, the “CEO of National Association for People Abused in Childhood”:
This game is played daily by millions of children, therefore EA has the obligation to act.
