Can’t say we didn’t see any of this coming. Footage that was released yesterday of Ray Rice KO’ing out wife in an elevator has now caused him to lose an endorsement & he’s being removed from Madden 15. Hit the jump for details…
Via YahooSports on Nike:
ESPN’s Darren Rovell is reporting that Nike has terminated its deal with Rice, the same action it took previously with shamed high-profile athletes such as Michael Vick and Lance Armstrong. (That said, Nike later re-upped with a rehabbed Vick and never backed down from its support of Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods amid their very public scandals.)

Via TMZ on Madden 15:

“The roster change will take place by this Friday.”
