The Associated Press reported that the brand pointed to Rice’s indefinite suspension from the NFL as terms for his removal from the popular game line.
As CBS notes, big-name companies have already cut ties with the disgraced player. Nike announced Tuesday that Rice would no longer be collaborating with it.
