Footballer's name "too violent", according to dried-out old feminists
We read:
"National Organization of Women president Terry O'Neill stated Saturday that NOW has requested that former Husker Ndamukong Suh change his name before the upcoming NFL draft.
"It's too violent" said O'Neill. "I understand that football is a violent sport, but the idea that we could be looking at a future NFL star whose name represents a crude instrument of death is more than a little disconcerting to me." O'Neill was referring to the fact that "Ndamukong Suh" translated means "House of Spears".
When asked for a possible replacement, O'Neill had a suggestion. "Ndamukong Beludi", which, when translated means "House of Muffins".

Maybe Ms O'Neill should change her name to Crusty O. Windbag.
You got fooled...April Fool's joke (article...just read the author's name).
Yep, it reads like an April Fool's joke. The player is real, but I doubt someone from NOW actually said this. (I didn't find his name on their site.)
Still, the end of the article has the best joke:
"However, Barnes did have his own suggestion.
"We (Suh's agents) think 'Ha Suh' would be a good choice."
'Ha Suh' translated?
Sudden death."
Even though this article's a joke, that would still make a great nickname.
NOW should change name to COW
