re: Why are so many players now putting “III, IV, Jr., Sr.” on their jerseys?

Depends on the player and the situation. I completely get if you're the kid of a former player (see: Griffey Jr., even though I don't think he ever did). If you're throwing our Sr. and you're the only one of your name, it's silly.

I've definitely noticed the trend as well, I guess they want to be different. Which is ironic, because either them or their parents didn't feel like a "different" name was necessary.

I see some of it as maybe fractured and rehabilitated relationships with a dad, and once they reconciled, it's done as a tribute. Just a guess.

It's still stupid. His last name is Sills. He's the 5th David not the 5th Sills.

This.
The suffix isn't part of the last name.
Athletes are dumb.

To be different. For attention.
Because when Willie Snead's dad, grandfather and great-grandfather are on the field at the same time, we know which one is which.

Thanks Speedy. Finally someone gets it. 
Posted on 10/29/17 at 3:15 pm to pwejr88
Because they’re having kids.

Dad is in prison or MIA
Posted on 10/29/17 at 3:26 pm to pwejr88
To show they actually have fathers?

Ken Griffey Jr definitely did and was the only one to legit have to because he played on the same team as his dad when he came in the league. shite his dad batted one spot behind him

Same goes for Mohamed Sanu. He has SANU SR on his jersey...and thankfully so. That's in case little Mohamed gets a few snaps and ends up as one of Matt Ryan's check downs. Imagine the confusion.Posted on 10/29/17 at 4:49 pm to vengeanceofrain
