– EA SPORTS H.Q. REDWOOD FALLS CA – The squeaking wheel gets the grease. That is Nate’s motto when it comes to Segathon. Nate has been a lightning rod for league, protesting everything from length of controller cords to the alleged “sobergate” at POP ’05 with Brandon Clinton.So it was an obvious fit when Nate’s WANG duty is to bring back the blood in NHL 95. Always followed by his elder brother Ben “Sovell” the two set up shop in from of EA’s HQ to “BRING BACK THE BLOOD”
Nate stated “NHL 95 without blood is like having a woman having a period without blood, it’s just not natural” Nate went on to say “The children of the world need to see Gretzkys head bleed and legs quiver on the ice.”
Nate’s hard line stance did not sit well with EA. CEO Haywood Jablowme said “How can we bring back blood to a game that is 12 years old? It’s ridiculous!”
About hour into the protest Nate had drank up his supply of juice boxes and called his mom to pick him up. Nate could not be reached for comment, but his Mom said that “Nate had a long day and is taking a nappypoo”
