Unprofessional, yes. But I can't agree that it's definitely racist
There's a multitude of hard to pronounce names in football. If the guy didn't have a great education, or is a bit dyslexic, he might struggle. We've no idea. I have a dyslexic friend who still can't say the most straightforward words properly at the age of 50. He laughs about it too. Partly to cover his embarrassment.
Racist is a nasty tag to throw at someone who may well not be.
