    Hey ffgrfu just so you are aware, a nutbuster is actually a pretty common rock climbing tool. I have one of them here at home that I used to always take climbing: https://dmmwales.com/products/nutbuster

    Just because something has a more adult misappropriation doesn't mean that all uses of it are deemed offensive.

    I understand where you are coming from and am happy to pass the feedback on but in the case where an 8 year old is accessing online features of a game then is best to monitor their online play at all times. Our team works hard to ensure a safe environment for all but things can slip through, things one deems offensive may not be considered offensive by others, for example the use of the word damn is highly offensive to some but to most a 5 year old saying it is fine.

Nut bust is not something I want my eight year old saying. It is adult and inappropriate, what other meaning or use does that have in language? Honestly you seem like you're part of the problem just brushing it aside like "sorry you have an issue but we're going to do nothing about it because it's YOUR issue". I repeat myself again DO BETTER EA.

    I'm sorry Darko, but your response to this has been out of order.  You know damned well what the term nutbuster has in pop culture, and to try and play it down is just sad.

     I understand it is difficult for EA to go through every team name and remove every potentially offensive name, but just argue that then. Don't try and argue that this team name could have potentially not been offensive, you just make yourself look silly.
