49ers FS Donte Whitner Is Changing His Name To Donte Hitner

San Francisco 49ers safety Donte Whitner is changing his name, too. He says he’ll drop the “W†and become “Donte Hitner.â€

“If you ask fans around San Francisco and the Bay Area, they call me Donte Hitner anyway,†Whitner told CSN Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco. “I think it’s pretty cool. Everything we do is for the fans, right? We all understand that. It’s entertainment, but at the same time it’s what I do. It’s my game, along with some things that happened recently, that’s why I went with it.â€

Sweets's Take: 49er fans already call him "Hitner" so I guess it ain't nothin but a name.

 

He's going to look stupid though every time he misses a tackle.

 

What 49er fans call him Hitner? This is the first time I've ever heard it, and see Dawks sig to see how I feel about it.

Man, if I ran the team he'd be Donte Waivner the moment I heard about this.

 

Hitner isn't too far away from the name Hitler. Just sayin'.

 

I feel the same way Fangio feels about it lol

 

I heard the NFL won't allow him to change the name on his jersey unless he buys up all the remaining jersey stock with his name on it...lol.

 

:icon_cheesygrin:He's going to have to sell a lot of tshirts to balance that

 

lmao Walnuts is crazy

 

people call you a lot of different names that you've never heard either........

 

ROFL!!!!
