Let me put this out there.
There is nothing inherently disrespectful about saying Fuku. That character means “blessings” or “good fortune”.
Kosuke believes it would be an easy target for disrespectful puns, so he has asked others to avoid doing so.
But I think jumping on someone for saying “blessings” is a bit overzealous.

If not for Gregg grooving one pitch to Ward, this offense has been abysmal the entire series. I can only hope we never have to play a playoff game in this stadium ever again – they just are brutal down here. We can all see where this game is headed, Dempster will make one mistake and we’ll lose.
