Surely someone could have seen this coming.
The NFL recently partnered with immensly popular video game Fortnite, releasing a bunch of new content including the option to put your avatar in the uniform of your favourite team.
With the new content, gamers predicatably took the opportunity to have some arguably
distasteful fun with some of the NFL's more infamous storylines.
Players have created avatars resembling such former NFL players as Michael Vick, Aaron Hernandez, O.J. Simpson and Colin Kaepernik.
Vick, a former quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, was sentenced to prison in 2008 for his part in operating a dog-fighting venture. A Fortnite player has used a character resembling Vick - wearing a No.7 Atlanta jersey - with a dog companion.
