A successful spelling bee contestant must have grit.
The judges should be fired and replaced.
No. I don't think they did it on purpose. I think they are just idiots that should not be judging or participating in a spelling bee if they don't even know the proper pronunciation. Shame on them.The judges should be fired and replaced.
Doesnt it seem to have been entirely deliberate? Mispronouncing the word in that way seemed to be a completely intentional embarrassment of that poor kid.
I hope the low info black lives matter types don't hear about this spelling bee.Negus was pronounced properly.
