"Three-star linebacker Noah K****a announced his verbal commitment to Eastern Michigan University on Friday, choosing them over West Virginia and Arkansas State.
Immediately, thoughts and prayers were sent out to the University’s broadcasters."
"Knigga, well aware of the complexities of his name, sought to clarify the pronunciation back in January during an interview with retired NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III.
“This is how you pronounce it. It’s Noah Ka-nay-guh,” he said.
“For some people it might ruin the name, I don’t think it ruins the name at all,” Griffin said. “I think you should get a couple T-shirts that say ‘Knigga Please.’ I think it would be hilarious.”

Does anyone really believe this? It's as unlikely as "Kuntz" being pronounced "Koontz".
I mean yeah, that's how you pronounce it now, but only because someone unofficially changed the pronunciation at some point in the past to avoid embarrassment. [Reply]
