University of Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson said in a Twitter post he does not want to continue using the nickname "AR-15", which represents his initials and jersey number.
Richardson said the decision was due to the recent mass shootings in the country related to an assault rifle.
"After discussions with my family and much thought, I have decided to no longer use the nickname 'AR-15' and the current apparel line logo, which features a scope reticle, as part of my branding," he stated in his tweet.
