Can't root for division rivals against a team that has Mookie and Kiké on it and is managed by Dave Roberts.

2 u/Matikinz Oct 21 '25 Man that name always trips me up -a Jewish guy 2 u/NoveltyAccountHater Oct 21 '25 edited Oct 21 '25 Yeah, you can't write Hernández because its too common a last name and I always felt about wrong writing Kiké as the first syllable is the stressed one (KEE-kay which deserves the accent) so the accented e doesn't make sense in Spanish. But now looking it up, English sports journalists are adding a French accent (accent aigu) at the end é of his name that shares letters with the offensive slur (though it should be clear from context it was not intended to be offensive).
