Do WASP parents know their sons are going to by Dick when they name them Richard?
Asking because there's a guy named Dick Pound and I'm just picturing Mr. And Mrs. Pound with this newborn baby and being like "we will name him Richard. He will go by Dick. With a hard D".
Are you refering to the Ping Pong tournament that he ran in the Quảng Ninh province of Vietnam? I heard that, after the tournament had finished, he thought it would be nice, in the spirit of friendship, if each team sang the national anthem of another. Well, needless to say, this caused a bit of tension, and many lyrics were, accidentally or not, mangled. This lead to tempers flaring, quite a bit of shouting, and, I'm sorry to say, the tension spilled over and a fight broke out between the US and Vietnamese teams.
The incident was later refered to as the Dick Bong Hạ Long Ping Pong Sing Song Ding Dong.

Imagine if this was the guy we sent to referee the Ping Pong matches after the Vietnam War.
