Ray Rice to be removed from the latest edition of Madden video game
Ray Rice will be removed as a character from the latest version of the popular “Madden” video game franchise Friday.
The roster change will happen automatically through an online update.
Electronic Arts Sports announced Rice’s removal from “Madden NFL 15” Tuesday, a day after the former Baltimore Raven was suspended indefinitely from the league after TMZ posted a second surveillance video of an elevator altercation in which Rice is seen punching his then-fiancee Janay Palmer, who is now his wife.
“With Ray Rice’s indefinite suspension from the NFL, he will be removed from Madden NFL 15. The roster change will take place by this Friday,” according to a tweet on EA’s verified Madden account.
An attempt to reach EA for additional comment was unsuccessful.
