Why? Because he like to have fun on the field and stay out of trouble off of it? That's a silly comment
I think it was hilarious. I saw something on ESPN regarding Chad, and they referred to him as Chad Johnson, but when they showed his name on the screen, it was Chad Ocho Cinco.
The guy is a brilliant marketer for himself.. part of the reason he wanted a trade was because he wanted a pay raise. Looks like he solved part of the problem himself. He is banking on everyone paying $75 for his jersey because it now says "Ocho Cinco" LOL he's hilarious!
Thursday, 4:21 p.m. It's official. The Bengals player who wears No. 85 will have Ocho Cinco on the back of his jersey. Let's let the AP explain: "The Bengals said Thursday that they will refer to the receiver formerly known as Chad Johnson by his new legal name, Chad Ocho Cinco, in all club business. That includes the back of his jersey for Sunday's season opener at Baltimore."
Can people really not handle the lightest of light racial humor? You guys are more uptight than a room full of crackers.
Wow, they want him to pay for the old jerseys. I'd think they would be big sellers even after the name change. Its just the man trying to keep Cinco down.
That's pretty stupid. What if he retired? Would he have to buy all the jerseys then? It's not his name anymore, he should wear whatever his name IS. What they do with the extra jerseys isn't his problem. Send them to El Salvador with all the 19-0 Patriot crap.
