When Chad Johnson legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco, I thought it was a brilliant move for several reasons. First of all,the sales of the the new Ocho Cinco jersey will sky rocket…We all know how Johnson has grown frustrated with the Bengals as an organization, that a few seasons ago seemed to be on a verge of a Super Bowl berth. With a myriad of arrest, waiving key players, and a consistently inept offense, I see why Chad wants to get out of dodge.
Now the NFL (a.k.a. the NO FUN LEAGUE) is hating, once again. Ocho, is not yet allowed to wear his new name on his jersey according to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello , “He has a financial obligation to Reebok, which produces the jerseys available to fans. That has to be resolved before the on-field jersey can be changed. “The same obligation exists for any player that changes his number or name.”
