Bengals Chad Johnson somehow convinced the NFL to agree to allow the player to wear his nickname on the back of his NFL jersey this season. However this was not enough for the player as he now has it exactly as he wanted it printed on his jersey - Ochocinco as apposed to the former Ocho Cinco.
The payer took the nickname as far as ledally changing his name back in Aug. and asked the league and media to call him Chad Ocho Cinco stemming from his number 85 jersey.
The correction comes from the way his name was written during the legal name change Ochocinco.
Perhaps this will catapult the NFL into even more of a mockery with nicknames of all sorts plastering the league into a mockery style media show.

One can only imagine that the opportunity for him on any one of those teams was a predominent aspect of his decision including the teams’ chances of winning.

These types of measures for example would cut the bottom line in a struggling NFL market, revenue.

It will be interesting to watch and see security runs around like a chicken with their head cutoff relying on fan feedback on where they should determine offensive behavior. After all the die hard fans are not as important as offending the once a year visitor. And what will determine offensive behavior?
