At this point, Marcus Mariota has been the quarterback for the Tennessee Titans for four full seasons. Call me old fashioned, but there is no fucking reason whatsoever for Titans fans in Nashville to STILL be mispronouncing his name, saying “Mairiota.” I’m sorry, but this is a hill I’m willing to die in. Mariota has been one of the most hotly contested subjects of debate in Nashville for awhile now.
It’s not like he’s some no-name player that no one knows. He’s the fucking franchise quarterback of the team! Despite him and Nashville media alike continually pronouncing his name the right way, people STILL insist upon pronouncing his name as “Mairiota” (as opposed to MAH-ree-oh-ta). It’s just inexcusable, and I will go to my fucking grave correcting people who say it wrong.
But, given how electric he was in college, playing for the Oregon Ducks, his name has been in the sports lexicon FAR LONGER than his tenure with the Titans. So, I just don’t understand how we can still be getting this name wrong. SMDH – #BeBetter, people.
