Aaron Hernandez being wiped away from Madden NFL 25 and NCAA Football 14

The murder charges against Aaron Hernandez continues to have repercussions. After his former team, the New England Patriots, not only released him two hours after his arrest, they offered to exchange his jersey for others of equal value and are turning those jerseys into compost. Now, EA Sports is striking the football player from their American football games.

NCAA Football 14 is being released later today, so he still appears as a Nike Skills Trainer. "However," an EA representative informed, "he is not in the game, and anyone who unlocks that particular Nike Skills Trainer reward will receive an Alex Smith Ultimate Team player item instead. The image of Hernandez will be removed via a Title Update in the near future."

Meanwhile, Hernandez won't be in Madden NFL 25 at all, which is being released in 27th August 2013.
