The company underlines that the player's behaviors are not limited by spitting on EA logo. The company also accused Fenech of posting “abusive and threatening messages and videos about EA employees” and competitors, and for “encouraging others to do the same.” Therefore, taking action was the only thing they can do to protect the franchise. Eurogamer Poland reported that him spitting on the logo was the last straw.
Incredibly stuff honestly...banning me from their esports events wasn’t enough, trying to get my Twitch and YouTube channels banned wasn’t enough, they now shut down my 10 year plus Fut Founder account. No words pic.twitter.com/EqAVWprTI5

Kurt Fenech defends himself by stating he “never said anything” he now regrets. If you would like to learn more about the issue, you can check the Twitter posts in this article. We will update you on this matter if it develops further.
End of the day I have never said anything I shouldn’t have. This is just deeper than anyone thinks. They didn’t want me competing at events cos they were scared I’d win them, now I’m the 2nd biggest streamer of their game and they’re scared I’ll overtake their golden boy
