Or do they just not do it as some kind of dumb freepish boycott?

They Call Petitte "Pedit" and Mueller "Miller" what the hell is up with that?

3. Sportscasters get a list
A list on how to properly pronounce a player's name if the pronounciation isn't self evident.

That is something Boosh needs for his speeches.
