Kareem Hunt Removed from Madden 19 After Video of Altercation Released

EA Sports is removing Kareem Hunt from its Madden 19 video game on the heels of a video being released showing the former Kansas City Chiefs running back knocking a woman to the ground and kicking her at a Cleveland hotel in February.

Per USA Today's Eli Blumenthal, a spokesperson for EA Sports confirmed Hunt would no longer be a playable character in the latest iteration of the popular series.

"We are in the process of removing Kareem Hunt from the Madden NFL 19 roster, Madden Overdrive and Madden Ultimate Team," the spokesperson said.
