NFL video games too violent for the NFL!

I kid you not.
After weeks of reviewing hard hits that have resulted in a bevy of fines, the NFL has decided to review the video game industry.
In hopes of sending a more consistent message about the importance of on-field safety, the league is talking with game makers in an attempt to ensure that violence isn’t being advocated in the virtual stadium.
“What is happening on the field and what is happening in the video games is different right now,” said Mark Holtzman, the NFL’s senior vice president of consumer products. “We’re taking a very close look at this since we have to walk the fine line. We know what sells, but we also want to do our best to maintain the integrity of the game.”

As if I needed a reason to like football any less.
