😬<\/a><\/u> \u2013 high school football prospect sets the internet ablaze by just his name alone: Noah Knigga<\/span><\/p>\n This right here, is every sports journalist\u2019s worst nightmare.\u00a0 Already, the biggest questions are on the correct pronunciation of his name, if the K is silent, and other low-hanging fruit remarks, but the harsh reality is that his mere existence, is going to inadvertently make life really hard for people who do not have bad intentions and merely want to report on sports.<\/span><\/p>\n Honestly, looking at his general junior year stats, 7.8 tackles per game and 3 sacks in just six games is pretty impressive, and supposedly Knigga is on some top-22 best underclassmen list, so it doesn\u2019t sound like he\u2019s a slouch.\u00a0 He\u2019s also rocking a 4.0 GPA, which leads to believe his character has some class and he respects academics enough, which makes it all the worse that he\u2019s a kid that really deserves to advance his career, and make life difficult for all the people merely scared of his name, from a PR standpoint.<\/span><\/p>\n The funny thing is that despite his general paper-test shine, he seems to only have the attention of:<\/span><\/p>\n Knigga with a \u2018K\u2019 has piqued the interest of several top programs, which include West Virginia, Miami (Ohio), and James Madison<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Now WVU is a decent program that often lives in or near the top-25 every year, and JMU is the pride of my hometown that I always have a soft spot for, but it\u2019s interesting that he doesn\u2019t seem to be attracting the attention of anyone, well, better.<\/span><\/p>\n I mean, if Arkansas is willing to recruit some kid named Bumper Pool<\/a>, and Oklahoma is fine going after some guy named General Booty<\/a>, it\u2019s surprising how many power-5 programs are afraid to go after a guy who\u2019s name sounds like the N-word.\u00a0 Especially when you consider how most of their predominantly white student bases and boosters probably already use the word liberally behind closed doors, you\u2019d think they wouldn\u2019t bat an eye at a kid who\u2019s name sounds like it in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n But it feels like Knigga is going to be a kid who\u2019s going to unfortunately suffer for what his name looks like it sounds like, mostly because teams don\u2019t want to deal with the hot potato his name will create for their general PR.\u00a0 You\u2019d think, especially in like an SEC school, where most of the students are a bunch of racists to begin with, Knigga would be capable of moving a fuck-ton of merch from bros and troll bros who basically want to have an excuse to use the name that sounds like the word.<\/span><\/p>\n However, make no mistake, by the time the dust all settles, I agree with a lot of sentiment, that there will probably be a lot of sports journalists over the next few years, who will face some scrutiny, if not actual backlash, for them using Noah Knigga\u2019s name.\u00a0 And by no fault of his own, the poor guy will basically be, the living nightmare of sports journalists all over, and especially the ones local to where he ultimately ends up.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 😬 \u2013 high school football prospect sets the internet ablaze by just his name alone: Noah Knigga This right here, is
