Black College Football - The Xperience: What's Behind the Name?

[Cheetah50]

Nothing makes me prouder by reading many of the educated responses. I'm going to make it brief. I'm looking forward to playing this on my "73 Mitsubishi WD. 1080 with the HMDI is gonna be visually sick. And for halftime kicking up the those 250w Digital cd ready JENS will be aural heaven.

Ms. Beauchamp relax, you have a winner and cult classic on your hands!

MEAC for Life...

Its a videogame and should be treated as such. And if you don't think the PR guys knew this would happen to this game, you are in denial. Look at how much publicity it has garnered.

The funny thing is for Black people or black students of HBCU's this is not a controversial title name, its easier to say Black college football then Historically black colleges and universities football the xperience. Its like going to a soccer match and saying united states of america in a chant instead of Usa. Usa. Usa. if that makes sense

It does, but the point is, in american culture, the name is controversial (as you have seen by these crazy discussions). The people who go to HBCUs don't need to controversy to know about the game. Their schools are being represented in it, and thats how they are sold. But thats a small target demographic. They have gotten so much publicity out of the name because american culture is essentially ignorance of everything but what the media tells you (and we will not go into that lol). The name doesn't matter guys, look at the gameplay. Too many things are being sold based on superficial crap like Covers and titles.

This game is NOT racist...nor is it being marketed to do so! Stop creating a fake controversy!

[sneezor01]

So to all of those who say that the title is racist. what should the title have been? Keep in mind that to those who know about Black College Football or HBCU's the current game title has been referred to as such. Meaning that if the title of the game was a reference of something created, that is one thing, but by the title being something that's always been known as then the title was not created to stir up controversy, but only to call it what it really is.
