"No one in either city can properly pronounce Mathias Kiwanuka." Adkins mispronounced Kiwanuka's name in the punchline and some Boston College players said later they found the joke insulting and disrespectful...
I have to disagree with the AP's characterization that this is "making fun of" his name. Here's how the info was gleaned in terms of what the BC players felt:
Reporter: "Would you say you found his joke insulting?"
Player: "Yeah, I guess, maybe a little.".
