Amidst all of its recent scandal for corruption charges, FIFA has been in the news for other issues. It was announced that women would be featured in the next installment of the long running EA Sports FIFA game. FIFA 16 will feature 12 female football teams that players can choose from. The decision has sparked a lot of unnecessary backlash from male fans of the game. At the moment however FIFA has more to worry about than this.
"So now there's gonna be women's football on FIFA 16, why do women have to interfere with everything we do?!"
-Some guy on twitter.
Some people are criticizing it as an failed gender equality attempt and are even saying it's a handicap for players. Others are saying it may be an attempt to give players more enjoyment. Which often leads to sexists comments.
"i dunno why EA's introducing women teams on fifa 16 yazi...unless they gonna exchange jerseys at the end of a match"
-Another person on twitter.
I bet these guys are single...

FIFA 16 know that the fans of FIFA know almost as much as we do about the long running franchise… in fact, some of you know even more than we do (but we do leave the house occasionally) so we encourage you to get involved, share your tips and make your mark in the fifa16.net community – we are a friendly bunch so you have nothing to lose.
