EA Gives US Submarine Crew Early Copy Of Madden 2010
Whether or not you agree with any combat the US has engaged in as of late, you have to feel for the troops. Their girlfriends. Their kids. Their wives. Their husbands. Their parents.
Being thousands of miles away from your family is tough as it is; trying to avoid death every day while being thousands of miles away from your family is unbearable.
As such, the fine folks at EA Sports have given Madden 2010 to a submarine crew heading out on deployment before its release date on Aug. 14 in an effort to make the time go by a fraction faster.
… for a few Tailgate365.com members, that day comes after they leave on deployment with no connection to the outside world. See, these guys live on a submarine for months at a time, protecting our rights. Rights to keep on playing Madden till our fingers hurt and our eyes cry for sleep. These sailors, with not much to do, literally under water, spend all of their time eating, working, sleeping and of course, gaming.
But thanks to EA Sports and their commitment to our troops, they will get underway with a copy of the latest version of Madden.
According to Mr. Gaines over at Sports By Brooks, video games and the like are precisely the type of things that bring a sense of normalcy to an abnormal time in these people’s lives.
I just hope they have an Xbox on board to play the game.
