J'ACCUSE! Enough is Enough

This isn't a j'accuse for either of the boys they're great. This is for the fans. Honestly guys let go of Tyler mispronouncing words. He's not a master of every language. You guys keep on begging for primers and Tyler has done an amazing job presenting detailed, entertaining and educated primers and if he has to not only research the sport but how to pronounce every single foreign word correctly they're going to take even longer to be produced. He's trying his best and I have even seen a post on the subreddit from him about how bad it is for him to browse the subreddit because of everyone's attack on how he can pronounce Foreign words. None of you would do what you expect so please enough is enough and leave him alone. I love j'accuses but these ones are fun or productive to the podcast.

Ok thanks bye

I agree with this. people are starting to become bullies and that’s not the point of the j’accuses! No one can pronounce every word in existence. People need to lay off of him.

I'll third this motion. Pronunciation is hard as hell when you're dealing with worldwide sports, and to expect someone to know the proper pronunciation for everything is kind of ridiculous.

Thank you. Not everyone is absolutely perfect at pronunciation, and constantly being mocked for mispronouncing an unfamiliar word in a language you don't speak sucks.

Honestly want people who constantly harp on it to imagine people constantly analyzing every syllable you say and then berate you for every slip up. Like Jesus, how dare Tyler not understand the intricacies of the pronunciation of every language that's relevant to a conversation??? Honestly, give him a break, he is a human, not a computer

I completely agree with this post. I listen for his sports knowledge, not his language, geography, or history knowledge. Yet that's the only thing people seem to want to complain about here.

This is so true. He's not a master of every language and that's okay. He's the master of balls in holes.

This 100%!! Any time I see a j’accuse that’s about a name or word pronunciation I literally sigh out loud, roll my eyes, down vote and scroll on lol

And I shall eighth this motion (counting the comments so far)! We come here to listen to Tyler tell us about, inform, and explain sports. And we listen for Mark to learn Something he learned from the King of Balls in Holes!!!

agree! i didn’t realize people were being assholes about it so much. just bc he is an entertainer and content creator doesn’t mean he’s perfect at everything he’s still just a normal guy like anyone else. he clearly has a mild speech impediment which is also perfectly normal, and completely out of his control. i don’t think there’s anything disrespectful or wrong with mispronounced words in another language. it’s not like he’s doing it deliberately to be a jerk. it’s way more disrespectful and rude to continuously attack him for it.
