49ers safety: I'm now Donte Hitner

[Kel Varnsen]

San Francisco 49ers safety Donte Whitner, who has revealed he was fined $21,000 by the league for a hit during last Thursday night's victory over the St. Louis Rams, said Wednesday he's dropping the "W" from his last name.

"I actually put the paperwork in yesterday afternoon. Just waiting to get the paperwork out," he said in a conference call with the Houston media. "So from here on out until I retire, my name will be Donte Hitner, without the W."

Hitner (SS)

There's a bright idea.

 

[Gee!]

At some point someone will change their name to Scud Missile or something.. Only a matter of time..

 

[Mulli]

Well, "Witner" is misleading, since he is an idiot.

"Hitner", playing "SS" bringing the "blitz" for the "NINE!"ers...

I dont see any problems here.

No way this could create a furor (sp?) anywhere.

Hitner (SS)

Bad marketing move. (Heil?)

 

[MigratingOsprey]

I'm sure he'll be able to get his arm up for the Heil Marys

 

[Brian in Mesa]

I just think it's cool he's so open about not associating his good name with that evil "W" ..... In fact, I would be happy if he was never associated with a "W" ever again
