So professional sports analysts - who get paid to do this sort of thing - will pronounce his first name correctly. Good lord. #chris-tin
One reason why Christine Michael must succeed this season:

That's dated April of 2013, since then Pete Carroll's referred to him as "Christian" Michael many times.
I always say "Kristin" because that's what the college announcers called him, but I find the confusion interesting.

What I'm saying is: Prisco could at very least get out of his tanning booth, read a re-Tweet for literally one second, and stop calling the man ChristEEN.
Off-season levity, by the way. I'm not actually upset.

How about CMike's parents just learn to spell. If they wanted his name to be pronounced Cris-tin, they shouldn't have spelled it cris-TEEN.Our Man in Chicago":1in9j9x8 said:

But really can you blame him? Thats how it's spelled. That's like someone getting pissed for pronouncing "Mike" like it's spelled instead of some weird way like "Mi-keh"
With Prisco being an English speaking person, his an easy mistake to make. Actually, it's not even a mistake. It's the correct pronunciation. If I were Michael, I'd just change my name to Emmitt. I'd emulate him, too.

He's still an unknown, I don't blame people for mispronouncing his name. Yet.
I do blame his parents for doing the cliche "cutesy" garbage in naming their son, though. Idiots.

The cool thing is I don't think he cares either way. I think if he did, he would just go by Chris or would have changed his named like Red Bryant whose first and middle name is Joseph Anthony.

The thing is: his mother wanted a girl. Had settled on the name Christine, pronounced Christine. But the man himself hasn't pronounced it that way - ever.
I will posit that the dude should pick one pronunciation and stick with it.

While in the Navy I worked in the hospital and was one of the people that filled out paperwork for birth certificates. We had a baby born and the mother wanted the girl's name to be "Virginia". V-a-g-i-n-a is how she wanted it spelled. It took three days of attempting to sway her towards the correct spelling and another three days getting a hold of her husband on a ship in the middle east. He was an idiot too and agreed with the mother on the spelling of the name.
After all was said and done, I filled out the birth certificate with the correct spelling and the mother came in and signed it. I don't think she could read, so she didn't notice what was done. Someone must have pointed it out because a few weeks later I was called in to the captain's office where the captain proceeded to rip me a new one in front of this idiot woman. Once she left, the captain thanked me for doing what I did and laughed at the thought of them going out of their way to get their baby's name changed to Vagina.
