Well, they’ve been saying that America’s “not ready” for a black president, yet the best-selling game in the country ever has a black lead character.
It was just a throw-away quip, don’t go all N’Gai Croal on me.

I would imagine that Madden 09 will surpass that, it is going to be the best version to date (bloody better be, they have had 20 years practice now)
