Question

[degeroo]

:rolleyes: Why don't we see sportsmen on television that have a stutter or speech impediment.?

[kilumanati]

probably because a stutterer is not as marketable/media friendly as a fluent person, plus stutters make up less than 1% of the population, so it would be rare to find a person who is an elite athlete and also a stutterer, has happened before but rare

theres a Kenyan superstar, our first league export called Dennis Oliech whe stutters quite noticeably. and he came on TV admonishing the Kenyan National team officials. there was some negative reaction to his speech by one or two journalists but overall he said what he came to say. but surprisingly the next time he was interviewed he had his brother cum manager speak for him, saying "dennis has said this and Dennis has said that" wtf
