Well, sure, if it's you or me. But the guy is getting paid zillions of dollars to say the name a zillion times (not my name, the player's). He jolly well ought to get it right. I think it's offensive that he can't. And if he can't say it correctly because there's something physically wrong with his speaking equipment, then he ought to pronounce it wrong the same way over and over, rather than trying it several different ways as an experiment.
