Ohio City Changes Name Because... Sports
As the Ohio State Buckeyes prepare for a championship game against the Oregon Ducks, the city of Oregon, Ohio, gets a ridiculous new name.
The very serious city of Oregon, Ohio, is renaming itself in advance of the College Football Playoff National Championship next week, so as not to be mistaken for supporters of one of the teams competing in it.
No, sir: Oregon, Ohio, does not ride for the University of Oregon.* That's why Oregon (Ohio) Mayor Michal Seferian issued a proclamation yesterday that will temporarily rename Oregon, Ohio, as "Oregon, Ohio Buckeyes on the Bay, City of Duck Hunters."
