REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — The next iteration of the Madden NFL game franchise will allow players to stand, sit, or kneel during the National Anthem before they take the field, sources confirmed today.
Developers confirmed that before kickoff in Madden 19, gamers in franchise mode can tell their players whether they should sit, stand, or kneel during the anthem. Franchise owners can also decide whether to be even more patriotic by accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Pentagon for tributes to soldiers deployed to wherever the hell they are fighting now.
