Talk:Matt Forte

Surname Spelling
Forté or Forte? Where did we get the 'é' with the accent? His jersey, NFL.com, and Pro-Football Reference profile say 'Forte'. Even his official Twitter and Facebook feeds do not use the accent. Should the title of this page be changed? Discuss --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  22:14, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * A Google search of "Matt Forté‎" leads to suggesting if we meant Forte without the accent.  Zappa  O  Mati   22:39, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah! I looked at this page's first revision. Forte's bio on Tulane's website spells his last name 'Forté'. I assume this is what the article creator used. So this makes things interesting. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  00:41, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hm, so should we play the Google hit search game or something now?  Zappa  O  Mati   01:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Since ChicagoBears.com and NFL.com have him listed as "Forte", the best option should be to change the article's name to "Matt Forte" w/o the accent. Anyone opposed? --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  17:24, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

So how about bringing the accent back? It's on his Jets jersey.
