It is one of those "You knew but did nothing to stop it" kind of situations. Like if someone was at my job doing something wrong, and I knew but did not tell anyone or try to stop it, I would most likely be held accountable, too.
It sucks, but it is the easiest way for EA not to fall into one of those garbage traps of someone who could not make it in their professional sport, so they file a lawsuit.
