He's only doing it until he retires. I think it's cool. Its his name. He's dropping one letter for a few years.

The flag on Whitner on the first play of the Colts game in week 3 was an utter travesty.
The one last week on Givens was iffy but I suppose more defensible -- that he was fined 21,000 for it is crazy, though. If Givens hadn't TURNED into the hit, while in mid-air, he wouldn't have gotten clocked in the face. At that point, it's entirely on the receiver. Whitner had already committed to the hit and certainly wasn't aiming at the head:

Back in the day, incompletion-forcing hits in the endzone were exactly what you wanted from your safeties. No wonder all these basketball players are dominating as red-zone tight ends, when they become untouchable the second they get their hands on the ball. It's like getting a rebound.

Whitner tells @MaioccoCSN he's willing to pay for Whitner jerseys after change to Hitner "depending on how many are out there."
So he had a built in excuse in case he changes his mind. If he does it after the year (when he won't need to buy all the jerseys), then respect for his stupidity.
