How Rude!
According to mirror.co.uk, the now retired Japanese setter and 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Yoshie Takeshita has the rudest name in sport.
1. Yoshie Takeshita: From a place called Fukuoka (seems to good to be true) and part of the Japanese women’s volleyball side that won bronze at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Fortunately, she has never emptied her bowels while competing, we think.
Other athletes on the list include:
Argel Fucks: Former Brazilian footballer who played as a centre-back and won one cap at full international level. Now a very expletive manager.
Dick Paradise: Former American ice hockey player who made 144 appearances in the World Hockey Association for the Minnesota Fighting Saints. An internet search reveals he shares a name with a naturist colony in Indonesia. Probably.
Jean Condom: Former French international rugby union player who played as a lock. Always provided protection to his back line.
Segar Bastard: Former English amateur footballer who played during the late 19th century. We couldn’t find much information on his parents, sadly.
Karen Cockburn: Canadian trampoline gymnast who won silver medals in the individual event at both the 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics. Only gold was awarded for ‘Unofficial Olympic Best Name 2008.
Irina Slutskaya: Retired Russian figure skater who is two-time world champion and two-time Olympic medalist. She was entered into a fair few tournaments.

They obviously forgot to include that American volleyball player.
