It's amazing how even news readers on the radio constantly mispronounce sports peoples names.
not really lot of quality in the journo/news reader department in this country though - none of them do any research if they can avoid it.
The research being they can't be bothered going next door to the sports department and asking about the names (for most of the names anyway).
Just on this, the normal Nix announcer Jay, is in Japan on holiday. He is really good at the games and does his research, the guy tonight was a fill in and unfortunately was actually embarrassing. I'm not sure he got any of the Adelaide players names right and was nonexistent when announcing the Nix names so the crowd was just kind of clapping.
Goes to show the contempt that the Stadium has for the Phoenix games. Surely 5 minutes of research is not too much to ask for a PROFESSIONAL Stadium announcer!
he was shocking - the only name he got right was Hamish Watson! It's well embarrassing when he can't even get the home team players names right! He summed it up at the end by saying the final score was zero zero
Either pop next door to the sports dept or even go see club officials from both teams and get the pronounciations ritht, not rocket science is it?
Hatter, we were wondering what that was about. Stadium security and their cctv complained to the fun police and asked you to be removed. Only at Westpac where sober fans having fun can get ejected and drunks annoying people get to stay.
Next up, Westpac Stadium security staff to implement new policies. The first one is: Anyone caught cheering on their team is to be ejected, 2) Anyone caught in a good mood is to be ejected, 3) Anyone caught banging a drum is to be ejected, 4) Anyone caught with a balloon or condom (includes both new or used ?) on their personage is to be ejected.......
