Josh Allen changed his name to avoid confusion with the other NFL Josh Allen
Josh Hines-Allen was tired of being the best Josh Allen so he decided to be the best Hines-Allen.
Jaguars EDGE Josh Allen, also known as the better Josh Allen, changed his name to Josh Hines-Allen today, in an homage to his family and the legacy he wants to upkeep. Hines-Allen talked extensively about following in the footsteps of his sisters and uncles who played basketball both collegiately and professionally, and how much it made him happy to hear his sisters’ names called when they ran out the tunnel. Now, he has the opportunity to do that himself as he gets closer and closer to the Jaguars all-time sack record.
For fans that bought an Allen jersey: don’t fret just yet, because according to Jacksonville Times-Union reporter Demetrius Harvey, Hines-Allen will be hosting an exchange event in September where fans that own the Allen jersey can exchange it for the new Hines-Allen jersey for free. A standup guy, who was always the better Josh Allen.
Pretty cool of Josh Hines-Allen to do that for Jags fans! I'll miss the Josh Allen sacked by Josh Allen jokes.
So first of all, through JA17 all things are possible and this is just wrong.
That being said this is awesome and hilarious, and a sincerely hope at least one person brings in a bills jersey to swap. That would just be funny.
Class moves all around. Glitter kitties are always our trap game.
Since I'm probably literally the only one on Lemmy...
Ahem...

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVAAALLLLLLLLL!
Fuck I hated that chant when we were there for the epic playoff draught ending game where Nathan Peterman carried us to victory-oh nope that's right, he only completed passes to the other team lol. Awesome city awesome fans but fuuuuuuuuck I hated your guys' chant 🍻
This will disappoint Scott Hanson so much.
Interesting. I think there's at least two precedents that intersect the sporting world, with Michael [B.] Jordan and Stephen [A.] Smith.
I thought I remember reading that (at least in those cases) that it was because of SAG rules that two members can't use the same "professional" name.
