Perhaps this'll be the start of the “FIFA Curse”! (Maybe that one will get a movie, unlike the “Madden Curse”?) Electronic Arts should've just put Alex Hunter on the cover. But what does the gaming company do now? This isn't worth doing a whole publicity stunt product recall over, right? Or sending new box-arts to customers (or non-customers like RawkHawk2010) like they're CAPCOM?Īh, the perils of licensed games featuring real people with real flaws. Anonymous scandalous allegations shouldn't derail your career, so it's good that EA didn't let that happen. Apparently that included Electronic Arts, but to EA's credit, the accuser didn't have a name or face known to the public until the day after FIFA 19's release. In any case, you don't see Ronaldo's story getting all the mindshare that Kavanaugh's story did, because half the United States already hated Kavanaugh before the allegations, while Ronaldo is a popular and powerful athlete superstar, with fans more than happy to ignore the story. It has nothing to do with me agreeing with Judge Kavanaugh's judicial philosophy, or me disliking Cristiano Ronaldo's sport or me hating Electronic Arts. Taking sides here is precarious.Īnd it's based largely on the actions and testimony of the accuser and the accused. We still don't know what happened, of course, it's just. I'm just saying the circumstances are different, so KoopaTV isn't going to be very eager in defending the man. I'm not saying that Cristiano Ronaldo is a rapist. Judge Kavanaugh's accuser didn't tell anyone and she didn't interact with Kavanaugh until 36 years later, thus leaving no trail that anything actually happened to her. Plus, Ronaldo's accuser actually called the police in 2009 and had that settlement occur between the two parties. That's a large difference between him and Ronaldo. But he has denied ever having sex with the accusers. Judge Kavanaugh has been accused of rape and sexual assault without any evidence. As of writing, it appears that he will be confirmed this weekend if all the senators don't flake and stick to their word about who they plan to vote for. KoopaTV has been talking about the Brett Kavanaugh hearings in the United States, as Judge Kavanaugh attempts to become a Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, he denies the rape allegation and has called it “fake news.” Ronaldo and Mayorga already had an out-of-court settlement in 2010 for hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for her silence (thus no one knowing about a rape until 2017), but now she's breaking the terms of the settlement so she can ask for more money.Įlectronic Arts is reportedly “concerned” and is “closely monitoring the situation.” To make things unfortunate for Ronaldo's credibility, he reportedly doesn't deny the sex took place. Between 2017 and a week ago, it was just an anonymous rumour. It turns out that the rape accusation, which depicts the act as occurring in 2009, existed to the public as of last year, but there wasn't a name of the accuser until now. ![]() Unfortunately for Electronic Arts and their box art, Cristiano Ronaldo has been accused of rape by an American woman named Kathryn Mayorga, reported in the German paper Der Spiegel one day after FIFA 19 released. Why isn't it on the Compare Products table?Īnyway, victimhood aside, the point is that Ronaldo is on the cover, and there's a “loan” benefit about him if you pay more money. Why is the “Nintendo Switch Edition” considered an alien? Let's get my Nintendo Switch victimhood out of the way for this article: As far as I can tell, Cristiano Ronaldo is the only reason why people around the world even know that Portugal exists. He's among the top two soccer players in the world, next to Lionel Messi. In fact, I dislike it, as you'll find out if you click that hyperlink.Īnyway, a Portuguese guy named Cristiano Ronaldo is on the front cover of FIFA 19's box art, and he's a central focus of EA's marketing of the game ( besides Alex Hunter - but for Nintendo Switch buyers, it's just Cristiano Ronaldo). Personally, I don't care for soccer (or association football). ![]() L ast week, FIFA 19 released, to critical anticipation for people who enjoy playing Electronic Arts's sports games, which happens to be tens of millions of people. ![]() By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Electronic Arts isn't in a good position, so they better hope it really is FAKE NEWS.
