It's quite annoying to listen to a fantasy podcast/show where the host mangles a player name repeatedly. It's even more annoying when there are multiple hosts and they each say the name differently without correcting each other at a break. It's definitely understandable when it's the player who changes their pronunciation (i.e. Luis "Robert" to "Ro-bear" then back to "Robert") and there's no consistent way to say it, but I was listening to a podcast I found yesterday on overvalued fantasy players and the host repeatedly called Adley Rutschmann "Al-dee," like the supermarket. It made what was shaping up as a solid program to be unlistenable.
I also was listening to Scott Engle yesterday constantly mangle Adolis Garcia's name, turning "Ah-DOH-lees" into "ado-LEASE." Don't get me wrong, big fan of the King, but it was definitely annoying, lol.
A few years back Jeff Mans would pronounce Sam Darnold's name as "Dar-no" like Travis d'Arnaud, and that excruciatingly went on for months until thankfully Darnold lost relevance, lol.
