Businesses don't need you to protect them, let their attorneys perform that job. "Firms do not need one to defend them", but somehow attacking companies when they're doing the right thing is essential and productive?It does not matter if it's for PR reasons, they are still raising awareness to this problem and hurting nobody by Madden 21 coins doing this process. Meanwhile the men and women who see this as an opportunity to attack are just perpetuating a negative feeling of constant complaining. It's not so much about"defending companies" but about assaulting this naturally negativity. So you are really just adding to the guy's argument by doing precisely what he explained. They are not doing anything though. They just released a statement full of empty rhetoric. You understand what doing something is? Not making yet another Madden game since the NFL punished players like Kaepernick for carrying a knee. That would be remarkable. However, we all know that's not what's going to happen.

The fact that people here are really acting like this is a meaningful gesture is indeed fucking baffling. EA literally moved out of its way to buy Mut 21 coins wash his name out of their matches two years straight, but this thread is making it look like they've contributed millions. It is the very definition of slacktivism. It would be more fair when they had said nothing in any way. Rather, they are gonna push out a bullshit PR announcement about how they stand with the black community and then in a couple months turn around and sell a product comprising an organization which has a history of stifling and penalizing black voices. I never mentioned"Let us attack a company for doing the ideal thing." My point, which I've attempted to describe in an edit, is that we shouldn't PRAISE businesses for doing the bare minimum of human decency if they've shown in the past to be contrary to the thing they're asserting. Actions speak louder than words. You can remain optimistic of matters looking up, which I frequently am. If your friend hurts your feelings, they have to regain your trust.
