Cincinnati Bengals Star Player Prepares for Post Football Career as Spanish Translator
He had a perfectly good name: Chad Johnson. Yet the Cincinnati Bengals receiver wanted to have “Ocho Cinco” on his back (the Spanish translation of his jersey number (85), and a trademark he uses to hawk merchandise on his website). When the NFL wouldn’t let him, Johnson went to court in Florida last summer and had his name legally changed to Ocho Cinco. Given that level of sound reasoning, it’s not a shock that he incorrectly filled out the form. He now is legally known as Ochocinco (all one word). And the NFL is holding him to it, trying not to laugh too long and too hard to his face.
