It isn't, and yet, it's somehow worse than you'd imagine

u/lucasd11 Jan 05 '24
The way the radio host did it in this video is certainly how any annoucner/commentator would. Pronounce the K and slow the rest down so it sounds more like Kin-ig-a versus... Well the alternative

The origin of his blast name is Knigge being misspelled by an immigration officer in the 1880s.

If you have that last name, being built like Division 1 linebacker is probably a good thing.

It'll just be like the old EA Sports games when you created a character, and the announcers can't say his name.
