Your Attention Please

December 12, 2009

American’s love their entertainers – from movies, to television, to music, and sports – and every once in a while one comes along that is so outrageous and bent on attention, they just can’t be ignored.  The Cincinnati Bengals have such a personality in the player formerly known as Chad Johnson.  He is known for odd hairstyles, excessive celebrations on the field, and other envelope pushing actions that bring financial penalties and the ire of the NFL commissioner.  In 2006, he took things even further.  In honor of Hispanic Heritage month, Johnson, who is black, changed his last name to Ochocinco to reflect the numbers on his jersey, eight five.  He meant for the name to be Ocho Cinco but he forgot to put in the space when he filled out the legal paperwork.  Now, in 2009, he is at it again.  In the upcoming off season, he states he is going to change his name to Chad Hachi Go in honor of his Japanese fan base (again meaning eight five).  It will be interesting to see how the NFL handles this since it affects sales of athletic wear and contracts with those manufacturers. 


Chad Johnson makes sports entertainment hardcore
It seems each year a new name he must explore
He’s devised another scheme
To put himself ahead of team
Proving he’s just another over-paid attention whore
