San Francisco 49ers safety Donte Whitner is among the latest to take a hit from the government shutdown. Known as a hard-hitting defensive player, Whitner announced last week that he wanted to go by “Donte Hitner” from now on, and would proceed with the necessary legal paperwork to make it happen.

But, due to the shutdown, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Whitner’s efforts hit a snag and his paperwork could not be processed. While he remains “Whitner,” the Pro Bowler introduced himself as “Hitner” during the player introductions at last Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.
