Adam Schefter Called an ‘A–Hole’ Over His Tua Tagovailoa Pronunciation

The job of an NFL reporter isn’t an easy one. Not only do you have to constantly be breaking stories, you also must make sure to not offend anyone while doing so. This means you must correctly pronounce the names of the athletes you cover. Now while some are very pedestrian, other names can be much more difficult. Just ask ESPN’s #1 reporter Adam Schefter, who has learned that his pronunciation of Tua Tagovailoa is not correct.

Schefty shared the letter he received, with a fan even going as far as to call him an A-hole.

Don’t dare call out Schefty over his pronunciations or he’ll simply just provide a video to shut you up.
