O'Ree is offensive?
I tried to use the name O'Ree in WOC and it says it might offend someone or is inappropriate. Why is this? Since Willie O'Ree was the first Black in the NHL, I can't see how or whom his name would of...

Thanks.
Hey Barry,
I had similar issue creating a player. I named my player Hauskas Kumeliauskas. And after entering the last name, it said it was offensive.
I found it funny since you have play-by-play name in the game as Kumeliauskas so how can it be offensive?
Thanks.
Also funny thing I wanna add. Saw a guy playing WOC with last name "Mestishomo" which means Mestis gay. Mestis is second highest league in Finland.
IRL a player was ejected and suspended for one game using that slur this fall in Finnish League.
But yeah, it's not filtered so it's okay to use in EA game.
