Any Filipino would probably assume that the headline was about Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao punching a stripper in a club. But I’m actually citing a story about Adam “Pacman” Jones, an American football player, being accused giving the smackdown.

I’ve already written about this on my personal blog months ago:

Let’s make “Pacman” mean something more significant—a boxer who shows what Filipinos are capable of with hard work and dedication. That’s definitely better than a yellow circle running around all day eating pills, and a football player with a history of assault.

Then again, dominating the search engine rankings probably won’t change the naming habits of American sports writers.
