I think its interesting that numerous football players are changing their names to absurb nicknames. For example, Chad Johnson changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco and recently Greg White is now know as Stylez G. I think because they are famous professional NFL players it is socially accepted. I dont think changing your name to an absurd nickname is a social norm. Many celebries feel as if they need to change their name as well.
Maybe these athletes feel this is how they identify themselves but I also think its a media scandal to raise publicity for them. Media uses athletes to endorse products and to make sales. I think its more of a deviant act which will have more followers. This possible could also influence the youth and college student atheletes to demand a name change or profiling in their sport.
