By the end of the match, the announcers will probably have said 20 different versions of Rados last name I was at the match so I am just reading these comments now....this is just the way the Lewis announcers are. If you had ever been to Romeoville, IL you would get it. In 4 years playing their archrival 2 or 3 times a year, they never learned to say Jendryk or Gervis or Aylesworth....and never were consistent with the mistake. I used to think they were trolling, but I eventually concluded they are just that clueless.

honestly, they've been butchering it all match and continue to get it wrong even though they've been called out and peopleh ave complained. My guess is they are actually doing it on purpose.
Agreed. It's not difficult to say Parapunov and certainly not difficult to say Wade

The team we facing tomorrow. Are they as good as Lewis? Nope, not even close. Loyola is rebuilding and Zolg is injured. I fear for Loyola tonight against Hawaii.

TBH, clueless just doesn't fit because of how many times they got it wrong, even right, got messaged on how they got it wrong and continued to butcher Rado's name.
Personally, I still think it was on purpose and that the announcer(s) really have a Ron Burgundy complex and are just trying to be funny. Even the voice inflections he was doing was reminiscent of Burgundy (like his pronunciation of Bulgaria). I just think they don't know or don't care how disrespectful it comes across.

Just clicked into the Penn St./Lewis feed and the commentator just made an on-air apology for his comments from last night. It was a "learning experience" and hopefully it will help shape his future in broadcasting. I'm good. Let's move on and continue to #GrowTheGame. http://instagram.com/p/B7fBVMsgkr9

Hawaii is a melting pot of different people. That was really an ignorant thing to say!

Most of UH Men’s sports teams don’t go by Rainbow Warriors anymore, they’re just the Warriors. That stupid student announcer needs to do his homework.

Getting a name like Rado's wrong can be expected, but using a different version pretty much every time his name is mentioned is deliberate. As said, dude had a serious Ron Burgundy complex and was trying to be funny and had zero clue or gave a @#$& that he was getting it wrong because even in the broadcast he was told how to pronounce it and continued to do mispronounce it in multiple ways. Deliberate, douchey, and zero class.

Well, incase you were sleeping, the Rainbow was put back, and rightfully so for a more than a couple years now. I love the Rainbows. I think it is a great story on how the University nickname became the Rainbows. They should get rid of Warriors, because it is over used!

It's just mystifying to me that people mispronounce names and words. Sure, if you encounter a name like "Mike Krzyzewski," no way anyone pronounces it "sheh-SHEV-skee" on the first attempt, I mean, that's totally out of this world. But names like "Parapunov," how and why do you add an extra syllable and letters that's not even there? How do you get PA-rah-puh-NOO-nov? Even when I had difficulty with foreign name pronunciations, I never added an extra syllable or letters that were not there.
Often, you just need someone familiar with the words and names to help you with the pronunciation. The toughest for me growing up were foreign names like "Chopin" and "DeBussy."
For the composer, it's show-PAN. For the writer Kate Chopin, it's CHO-pin.
And why "Charlie Ward"? Isn't "Wade" one of the simplest White man name ever to pronounce?

It's why I think he was doing it on purpose. Just the sheer number of them tells me this. If you are trying to get it right then you settle on what you think it is and stick with it. And then if someone tells you how to say it and get it right, then even the person that tells you starts to do it as well... it was completely unprofessional.
