Colin Kaepernick not in ‘Madden NFL 19,’ name scrubbed from licensed tracks

Colin Kaepernick does not appear in Madden NFL 19, the latest iteration of the popular franchise. And by “does not appear,” I mean he’s not available on any team or as a free agent, and his name is censored out of a verse in one of the licensed tracks, “Big Bank” by rapper YG.

I came upon this while playing the game last night. This was using the latest roster update, which was available when I first launched the game. Kaepernick’s name was also scrubbed from a licensed track in last year’s game (h/t to @CurtJRinehart), well before he’d filed a grievance against the NFL, perhaps strengthening his case in the long run.
