It's hard to convey tone on this forum, or on any forum. EA was bound to know that adding women's soccer into the game was going to cause a stir up, but it's going to happen and it's not a big deal unless there were a hundred more hard core misogynistic views.

What don't you people get here. Do the words I KID have no meaning to you? Again nothing, absolutely nothing that I said is related in any way whatsoever to women, my view of them, their role in society, or their place when it comes to sports and video games. Did I make that clear enough yet? Or shall I continue? Jiminy Christmas.[/quote]

What do you not get about an offensive joke not being funny? "I kid" isn't some magic get out of trouble line you can use when saying misogynistic stuff.

Yes, your form of humor does reveal what you think of women's place in society.

Well, since I have wanted a CFL game, I think it would be a great start, and I would hope it would develop and be a part of the game like the international leagues in the NHL series. Would just a few teams in exhibition mode be enough? No. Might that lead to a full CFL franchise mode? Maybe.

You are either part of making gaming a more inclusive place, or you are part of the backwards way of thinking that keeps putting walls up, finding ways to keep your hobby private and exclusive.

I really don't understand this thinking.

Nobody is putting up walls. Nobody is thinking backwards(ly). Nobody is displaying 'No Girls Allowed' signs. He/we simply think that the time could be better spent--which, by the way, is completely reasonable to desire.

I don't understand why you're getting so defensive for 'women gamers'. Nobody is attacking them...

The bad news is resources were directed away from things that should have been addressed first.

The good news is EA will have metrics on whether or not this feature will be used and/or worth the effort. They will let the marketplace decide and I have no problem with that.

like saying you're going to "Drop a bomb on a Battleship" I'm sure military personnel, especially those in the Navy may find this much more offensive than anything I've said here. Be consistent sir.

Why do people keep saying they wasted resources when they haven't announced anything else?

This is starting to get way way off topic, and truthfully it's a little too close to a TOS violation for my liking, so I'm going to end my part in this discussion right here. Have a nice day!
