Electronic Arts, Inc. (NasdaqGS:EA) has launched EA
SPORTS™ FIFA 20 across
PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC. The game features VOLTA FOOTBALL, in which
“players build their own character, express their individual style, and immerse
themselves in a realistic small sided experience”. Aaron McHardy, Executive
Producer for EA SPORTS FIFA,
commented:
“Each
year we look to add more ways for our players to engage, from mode innovations
to gameplay mechanics to delivering the most authentic experience to date. This
year, we’ve also introduced VOLTA FOOTBALL that adds a completely new dimension
to the game and brings FIFA 20 back to the streets and futsal courts where a
lot of football players from all over the world started out. It’s an experience
our players have asked us to bring back, which we’re excited to deliver as we
continue to build the world’s game.”
Sportsman’s Warehouse Holdings, Inc. (NasdaqGS:SPWH) has entered into agreements

Felix
Breaks Usain Bolt’s Record at IAAF, Man City Must ‘Seduce’ Fans for Champions
League and California Passes Law Allowing Student Athletes to Get Paid
The IAAF World
Championships tournament is in its fourth day today, having kicked off on
Friday in Doha, Qatar. Yesterday saw American sprinter Allyson Felix score a
record-breaking 12th World Championships gold medal, overtaking Usain Bolt as
the leader in gold medals won in the history of the tournament. So far, the
U.S. leads in medals won with 8 total (4 gold, 4
silver), and is followed by China and Jamaica who have 6 and 3, respectively.
The UEFA Champions
League is in the second matchday of the competition’s group stage today.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said the team must seduce fans in order
to win the Champions League, according to The Guardian. He explained the comment:
“The only way is winning games and playing good. Every
single day we work. I know for the fans it’s the Premier League - that’s the
most exciting. We know that as a club, we’ve done polls, I know how special it
is. But this competition is nice too. They have to live it as a dream. Nine
times in a row.”
The Associated Press reports that California
signed a law that would allow college athletes to hire agents and make money
from endorsements. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which
governs student athletics in the U.S., had cautioned California governor Gavin
Newsom against signing the law. Newsom argued:
“Other college students with a talent, whether it be
literature, music, or technological innovation, can monetize their skill and
hard work. Student athletes, however, are prohibited from being compensated
while their respective colleges and universities make millions, often at great
risk to athletes’ health, academics and professional careers.”
