Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest horror forces Madden NFL to remove controversial feature

EA Sports are in the process of removing a celebration from the latest installment of the 'Madden' series after Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on the field last week.

On Madden 23, a celebration can be used by players of a player receiving CPR after scoring a touchdown or making an interception or turnover. The celebration went viral in light of last week's horrific scenes at the Paycor Stadium.

TMZ Sports have claimed that the celebration will be removed from the game, after Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on the field of play and needed CPR as well as a defibrillator to revive him and regain a pulse, before he was transferred to the hospital for further medical procedures to save his life.
