EA Sports NHL is a beloved game for lots of hockey fans, but unfortunately, it hasn’t always been a space free of racist and hateful comments.
The misuse of the platform is not a new issue, but now, EA has committed to making the game a safer and more enjoyable space for all participants. Today, EA NHL released a statement outlining how they planned to fight bigotry in the game, and the future looks bright for those who play.
New filters, harsher penalties for misuse, and the ability to report abusive behaviour are all new features that aim to make the game more inclusive for all participants.
This is a great, action-based step towards silencing hate and making hockey a more inclusive space.
