Will EA Also Fire Sexist Commentator?

by Matthew Kato on Jan 26, 2011 at 03:45 AM

Ex-soccer player and FIFA commentator Andy Gray has been a staple for EA Sports' soccer franchise, but will that be coming to an end given Gray's recent firing at Sky Sports?

Last weekend, Gray was reprimanded by Sky Sports after he made some sexist comments about a woman referee in an English Premier League game match while he claimed he thought his mic was off. Sky later fired Gray after it uncovered past sexist behavior.

Game Informer contacted EA Sports about Gray's future with the FIFA franchise, but a representative told us that "we have not made any announcements about our in-game commentators for FIFA for 2011. Those announcements will be made later this year."
