The invisible problem of international sports

No Single Source of Truth

There's no centralized place to hear correct pronunciations. Commentators scramble across scattered resources — and during live broadcasts, there's no time to search.

Athletes Feel Overlooked

After years of training, their moment of recognition is undercut by a mispronounced name.

Global Events, Local Names

Slavic, Asian, African, Middle Eastern — each region has unique pronunciation rules that generic tools get wrong.

“My first name means a ton to me. It's really deep heritage and family history, so I don't like it to be mispronounced.”

It's bigger than getting a name wrong

The consequences are real — for athletes, for broadcasts, and for the hours spent preparing.

Reputation

Moments get overshadowed

At the 2026 NFL Honors, Jaxon Smith-Njigba won Offensive Player of the Year. But the conversation after the ceremony wasn't about his record-breaking season — it was about how his name was announced. One moment of mispronunciation became the headline instead of the achievement.

Social media amplifies everything

When WNBA star Arike Ogunbowale's name was mispronounced throughout an entire game, fans in the arena could see her frustration in real time. Clips spread instantly. In the age of social media, every broadcast moment lives forever — and audiences hold nothing back.

Time

Preparation takes hours with no guarantee

Olympic commentator Hans Frauenlob has called five Games for the world feed. His approach: track down audio of each athlete saying their own name. "This can take a lot of time." Even after hours of research, there's no single reliable source to turn to — especially during a live broadcast.
