Because of the crimes committed against blacks well before you were likely born? I agree Noble, this does need to be locked, because it is about to get a lot uglier around here.

The article didn't tell you to start talking about about the ignorance you brought up. That was all you and the rest of the people that have a big problem with this game.

Yes, double standards exist. Who's fault is that? Not black folks. And I must've missed that memo where racism was completely, 100% eradicated.

The ignorance and arrogance is loud in here. Black people can't even make their own videogame now.

When did having an opposing viewpoint become trolling? I never called anyone inbred or stupid here. Rockchisler questioned my education twice in this thread, and I chose to respond privately instead of publicly. Where is his public warning about insulting others?

I'm sorry I debated my side of the argument ad nauseum (granted), but it is hard not to respond when I'm being quoted left and right, and being labeled as uneducated, and essentially racist. That isn't trolling, it's debate. Debates aren't always pretty, especially concerning an issue like this.

In any case, if you don't want me to respond further that is fair enough, it is certainly true that I've had my say. But I'd also appreciate if you'd also have folks stop quoting me, poking me for a response.

When you began insulting other members. Leave it alone, and others will leave you alone. And if they don't, then we will take care of that.

The game actually looks decent, though I probably won't pick it up because NCAA and Madden will take up enough of my game playing time.

I really don't care for the title though - not because I think it's racist, but because they're really only marketing the game to black people. Obviously this article was informative and explained what the game is all about, but for the average person that doesn't read OS and sees this game in the store - especially if they aren't black - it's probably not going to generate any interest for them to want to buy it. Am I wrong?

Anyway, I will wait to see some impressions of this game and if I like what I see, I may rent it. But, I have a hard time getting into any sports games that don't have a dynasty option.

Until now I wasn't aware there was any sort of controversy surrounding this game, nor do I see the reason for it-the meaning of the title should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about the sport of cfb.

Having said that, I'm going to pass. I have zero interest in the subject matter.

i think what a lot of people that feel its racist and ask where the "white" version is fail to realize the biggest (and most powerful) demographic in America is white males 18-49 (in the last census over 70% of the US identified themselves as "white"). and someone can correct me if im wrong. now as a business it makes sense to market to the biggest segment of the population.

So when EA, Sony, or Microsoft makes a game they makes it for the largest demographic, being white males (especially if were talking video games). Now some companies choose to go for a niche market because they feel they that a specific segment (nice market) can be profitable, for example when disney makes a Hanna Montana movie, they are clearly not going after white males 18-49. they are marketing to female teens.

So this game has done just that. it has found a segment of the population that was being ignored and made a product for it. So when people say "wheres the white college football game" Its EA sports NCAA.
