Last week, in explaining why the beleaguered NBA all-star Gilbert Arenas wasnât a part of voting for NBA Jamâs roster, EA Sports indicated it could later add him to the game with a WiiWare update. Theyâve backtracked on that statement.

Not to rip EA Sports too hard, but itâs object lesson No. 1 of why honesty is the best policy. Gilbert Arenas is suspended for the rest of the season and was recently sentenced on firearms charges for a stunt that embarrassed the league and its players. But his inactive status was only partially cited by EA Sportsâ original statement, and then largely as a technicality, as the reason for leaving him out of the voting. But any fan would have understood that the guy is completely radioactive, and no one selling a mass-market product would want anything to do with him right now.
