After Damar Hamlin's tragic on-field cardiac arrest, EA Sports is going to remove the CPR celebration from Madden 23.
The touchdown celebration, which can be viewed, depicts two players performing CPR on another downed player who mimes being unconscious on the ground. This seemingly innocuous act took on a more serious connotation when Hamlin required emergency CPR after a freak accident resulted in him going into cardiac arrest after being tackled during the Bengals vs. Bills game on Jan. 2.
Since then, he has recovered significantly and has been discharged from the hospital, as he took to Twitter to thank his supporters. His injury, and the NFL’s noncommittal initial response, which led some to believe that they would continue the game, reignited the eternal debate of players’ health vs. their careers with a vengeance.
Some feel that EA is being overly cautious. “It’s not that serious,” says a commenter on the linked video depicting the in-game celebration. “People need to stop being offended,” says another. However, it’s not like EA is wrong to fear potential blowback for the CPR celebration despite it being in the Madden franchise for at least
