Sure, they may have based their athlete off of a specific one, but fact of the matter is there are enough black athlete rolemodels out there, however few may be good, and to keep shoving the fact that black people are athletes down the youth's throughts will only further their idealogy that they most likely need to be professional athlete to make it big.
So is the game racist? no. I never said it was racist, at all, I love the game and have played through it a bunch of times, but the fact is that
Cole train is a horrible stereotype to place as the main black character in a mainstream game
regardless of whom the character is based off of.
