So a few people make a buck, so what, it's too good an idea to care about that.

Though I do think Pat Tillman was a hero, I think its a bad idea. Football is football and Afganistan is Afganistan. Pat was killed in action in Afganistan and all this says to people who buy the game is that if you join the Army and strive to become a Ranger and go into action that you can get killed like Pat did. I think they should honor him some other way than through entertainment channels. Just my humble opinion.

I say leave the war out of my football game..

Tillman joined the army..  He did it under his own free will and died a soldier..  Note "a soldier"

I respect the man but propaganda has no merit on any such covers of EA titles..  

Maybe "Americas Army" can have a special tribute to him but warfare has no business on the football field..  infact sports in general are a non violent way expressing our natrual warlike / territorial instincts without significant loss to human life / resources.  

mankind has created sports and competition as an alternative to warfare.

To glorify warfare in the name of sports is a step backward on the evolutionary food chain...
