Quote:
Is the accent on the first syllable, as it is in the noun in a sports context?
No pronuciation is given for the word.
Maybe Fr Steve remembers the pronunciation from the broadcast. I see no problem with verbifying this noun; it seems a pretty handy distinction, just as offensing would mean something completely different from offending.
