Racist, FIFA gamers banned forever

EA will strictly handle racist gamers.

An 18-year-old gamer recently received a bitter ending when he made racist comments towards football legend Ian Wright. The legendary British player said he was pleased to hear that Electronic Arts had just issued a sentence to the young man.

This act of racism is alleged to have occurred in May 2020, when Patrick O’Brien lost a match in FIFA Ultimate Team. In that match was used former England player, Ian Wright. And after losing the battle, this young man immediately went to Instagram to spam dozens of messages to Ian Wright’s account to insult him.

Irish Examiner has submitted a report on alleged abusive actions, use of monkey emoji (satire), and some extreme, insulting and racist words by 18 young men. this age. O’Brien even saw this as just venting his anger and blamed Ian Wright for losing the match.

Electronic Arts was quite harsh with this action of O’Brien. Think that this is an insult to a living legend of the FIFA series in particular and sports fans in general. Therefore, it is not surprising that EA has finally announced that O’Brien will be permanently banned from FIFA Ultimate Team and future generations. EA considers Ian Wright to be part of the family, and appreciates his cooperation and support for the development of the FIFA title.

On February 3, Ian Wright expressed dissatisfaction with the decision not to criminally prosecute the 18-year-old. In return, EA immediately banned O’Brien from playing permanently to show support for the English football legend.

Ian Wright has the right to gloat when he hears EA’s decision. He thinks justice has finally been served, even though it doesn’t come from the courts. However, the basic problem here is that racism is still quite prominent in some areas of life. If the person being offended is not Ian Wright, a former English football player, who will stand to solve this case? Will justice be served?

On the EA side, they are also very satisfied with their decision. It is not difficult to speak up to protect their own image assets. However, EA still needs to take strong measures on this issue of racism. They need stronger communication so that their games will always have cultural players. With a company as influential (especially for young people) as EA, their support to reduce racism will be recognized by everyone.

In everyday life, there are always unpleasant things that happen to us. Know how to control your temper and handle it in the most peaceful and smooth way. Don’t let your actions inadvertently promote bad things like racism. Playing games is the same, winning or losing is completely normal. Instead of cursing and insulting others, find ways to improve your skills. After all, we need influential companies like EA, Valve, etc. to do their best to spread anti-racism propaganda in hopes that nothing like this will ever happen again. .
