just thought i'd post something i found funny,

https://mfn68.myfootballnow.com/player/696

my next opponent in MFN-68 has a 284 lb RDE named Patricia..........either we have very large female players in MFN as opposed to the NFL or the name generator needs to be checked(i've seen other female names too just can't remember where off hand)

The names are generated from US Census data ... so there apparently are enough men named Patricia in the US to make it into a reasonable probability. That is funny, though.

question if the names are generated from the US Census Data is there a chance like player could have like a swear , curse word or come close to having one of those in their first name or last name??

Of course the better question I guess would be if we did find a player or coach that might have a swear , curse , offensive , etc. word that would you want us to send that profile to you so you can fix it??

Yes, I definitely have not read through all the names and would want to know if there are any questionable names in the database.

Its not the first time I've thought this, but I think the names are very 'White', not that it bothers me, just an observation.

Cleveland Browns had a RB, who was a physical freak... Olympic underwear type of player... named Ben Gay.

Yeah, the jokes were endless.

Unfortunately they still are, can't believe how narrow minded people can be.
