A 10-year-old Lions fan named Roman went to Sunday's game in Dallas after his grandma surprised him with tickets. Roman and his family got to the stadium early in order to participate in some of the pregame festivities. One such festivity was a game of musical chairs, which you can see Roman winning in the video above.

Upon realizing that Roman was wearing a Matthew Stafford jersey, the MC called for a re-do of the final round of musical chairs.

I don't get it. Did they not see him win or something?

 

[NIGHT-]

That's pretty awesome

 

[TI82]

Its kind of hilarious that they didn't send him the madden Xbox one bundle.

 

[Occam]

EA trying to get on our good side again? Well, we have UBI now.

 

[BTHR Zero X]

Good Guy EA..... I never thought I would say that

 

[Tenebrous]

Good guy EA is at it again.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

was that deadspin article written by that same 10 year-old child

 

[Anon67]

Aw that's great. Good on EA, I guess.

 

[Smokey]

I don't get it. Did they not see him win or something?

Cowboys played the Lions. Dude had a Lions jersey on. He had the "wrong" jersey on (because Dallas is a terrible place) and so they wouldn't let him win.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Good guy EA is at it again.

Hahaha!

 

[Onaco]

*slow clap*

Good guy EA

They did the musical chairs contest again because the kid was wearing the "wrong" jersey. He lost the contest the second time.

 

[Diddy Kong]

[Occam]

Or a PS4 and Madden for Xbone.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

At least there's one happy Lions fan this week

 

[cyberheater]

What a shitty thing those adults did to that poor kid. Wankers.

Good of EA to step up.

 

[Cheat Code]

Good on them. I don't know much about American Football culture, but it doesn't sounds too fun.

 

[Afrikan]

Its kind of hilarious that they didn't send him the madden Xbox one bundle.

yeah with the marketing deal... but I wonder if they got a hold of him and asked him which system he wanted?

but that seems like alot of work, if they were going to give out something for *free* anyway...... like here you go kid.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

A PS4, Madden, and a signed helmet? Nice!

 

[TsunamiOfSwagger]

She was a class act. Good on EA for stepping up.

 

[impact]

Cowboys fans are bad people, who knew?

 

[TimorousPanda]

Man, it's hard to watch that kid get pushed around up there. Glad he came out ahead in the end, though.

 

[RE_Player]

Its kind of hilarious that they didn't send him the madden Xbox one bundle.

Doesn't really matter what console it is. Good on EA.

 

[Revolutionary]

A PS4, Madden, and a signed helmet? Nice!

It's a cat helmet

 

[TI82]

Yeah, I mean if they reached him and all I would understand but something tells me they didn't lol.

 

[Bgamer90]

Lions fans like blue.

 

[CentroXer]

EA + PS4 = True

 

[Raist]

Upon realizing that Roman was wearing a Matthew Stafford jersey, the MC called for a re-do of the final round of musical chairs.

What kind of sad person does that to a 10yo kid.

 

[Anticol]

Now I get why everyone hate the cowboys.

 

[DrForester]

Real article title needs to be "Deadspion refers to Led Zeplin as "crappy old rock"

Video/article here.

But guess what Roman ended up getting? Some major bullshit, that's what! They gave the child the complete first season of the original Batman television show on DVD, and a fuuuuucking Led Zeppelin CD. The hell is a 10-year-old kid supposed to do with that shit? There is literally nothing in this world that a 10-year-old boy values more than video games. Giving one a dumb DVD and a crappy old rock CD as if those things are just as cool as a video game is like trying to tell an adult that a bag full of week-old dog shit is just as valuable as a brick of gold.

Cowboys gave him something better than Madden to begin with.

 

[gogojira]

People see what they want to see with the ps4 thing, lol. The competition was for a PS4 copy of Madden so it makes sense.

Also, what a shitty thing to do.

 

[pa22word]

Aw, good on EA for making it u-

Haha, good point.

 

[Eusis]

EA trying to get on our good side again? Well, we have UBI now.

EA is "off" right now, they always seem to rotate between being relatively good or being awful. Unison is more consistent there, like their game design and general broken code.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Hilarious story that ended well.

 

[Stilton Disco]

EA have been decidedly...how to put this...not a bunch of cunts, for months now. It's starting to weird me out.

 

[iMax]

good guy EA

I did find his prize funny though:

the complete first season of the original Batman television show on DVD, and a Led Zeppelin CD

 

[Ivan 3414]

Are the Lions a rival team to the Cowboys? Not that it matters.

Real article title needs to be "Deadspion refers to Led Zeplin as "crappy old rock"

Quiet down old man.

 

[iMax]

Aw, good on EA for making it u-

If you're ten, it is crappy old rock.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Are we talking Adam West or TAS?

This is important

 

[DrForester]

This is important

One is awesome, one is awesome in totally different ways.

 

[Ape]

He got a signed Brandon Pettigrew mini helmet!? That's better than the ps4!

 

[SystemUser]

I have said it before and I will say it again. Cowboys fans are the worst. It's cool that EA hooked the kid up though.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Good on them. I don't know much about American Football culture, but it doesn't sounds too fun.

It's got its good guys and bad guys like everything else, really. Guess which end of that spectrum the Cowboys fall on.

 

[Audioboxer]

What a shitty thing those adults did to that poor kid. Wankers.

Good of EA to step up.

Yea, that's a crappy move to pull on a 10 year old.

Well done EA.

 

[JayEH]

Real nice of EA. Luckily the Cowboys will have karma bite back this weekend.

 

[deltacanuckian]

EA trying to get on our good side again? Well, we have UBI now.

It is kind of amusing that EA has spotted this opportunity to lob grenades at Ubisoft and try to reform their image since everyone hates Ubi now. That said, good on EA. Total dick move to take the win away from a ten year old kid just because of a jersey.

 

[explodet]

I love that in this story, the only entity that comes out looking like roses is EA.
Not even the author of the article comes out unscathed.

 

[benny_a]

It is kind of amusing that EA has spotted this opportunity to lob grenades at Ubisoft and try to reform their image since everyone hates Ubi now.

The only connection that event has to Ubisoft is in the imaginations of fantasy prone gaffers.
