On April 24, 2021 one of the most wholesome battles of this decade happened in Nebraska.
An year earlier, Josh Swain had invited his namesakes across America to fight for rights of the name. He had done it out of pandemic boredom not knowing the internet would hold him accountable.
A few days to the anticipated fight, he changed the battle’s venue, outlined tournaments and indicated he had a charity and food drive scheduled to happen on the D-day.
On Saturday, hundreds of Joshes showed up at St Lincoln park armed with pool noodles. A four-year old boy was the crowned the ultimate Josh while Josh Swain retained/won rights to his name.
More than $8,000 and 4 truckloads of food were collected. Millions of netizens did not believe the fight happened until they saw footage and of the fight.
With people asking for more the question is, what happens next?
Will losers change their names? If they do will their children one day rise to defend their honor or will another fight be organized for them to reclaim their names?
Will this be annual event or was that the last we see and hear of it?
If the battle happens again will it be in the US or any other part of the world and will it be viral as the initial one?
Our suggestion as Citizen 250Q is, people with different names to organize similar battles for goodwill initiatives and if, we, the internet like your idea we’ll support you whole heartedly.
Everyone is waiting for your initiative. Group your name sakes, challenge them to a battle, give them time to prepare, publicize it and when the day nears follow up.
