An ESPN commentator is suing the network for wrongful termination after they fired him for supposedly calling Venus Williams a "Gorilla," which he didn't. Media analyst Mark Dice has the story. ESPN doesn't know the difference between 'Guerilla warfare' and the word 'Gorilla.' Now they will lose $ - good!.

I'm glad they are getting sued, everyone should sue them.
good thing no one tried to use the word “niggardly”. Whoa boy that would’ve made them go through the roof!
Did he mean Serena? Or did he just get "SWATted", set up for the PC Police by someone in-house?
at some point...Disney shareholders should sue. They are intentionally devaluing shares, so it seems, and that would be the contention in the lawsuit. (And that is what discovery is for....”produce all emails company wide related to the political orientation of ESPN”.)
At least he didn’t say that Venus Williams was the guerilla his dreams.
For quite some time now, the only thing produced by this network worth watching are some of the 30 for 30’s.
Otherwise, as one of the articles succinctly states, “It’s MSNBC with footballs”.
-- Mark Dice who used the term "guerilla" which is a tennis term meaning to attack the net, as in "guerrilla tactics"; or,
-- The executives at ESPN who immediately associate the homonym "gorilla" with Ms. Williams who happens to be black.
The network is going full black and the whites that have to act hip black!
cash me osside
how bout dat
Some people would find your post niggling.
If this is true, the network better be sprinting to settle.
blast from the past
Anthony Federico, the ESPN editor fired yesterday for his unfortunate use of the phrase “Chink in the Armor” in a headline about Jeremy Lin, has explained himself to the the New York Daily News. Federico said he meant no disrespect and was “devastated” once it dawned on him what he had done.
I hope he wins big time, and I hope he learns a lesson about PC and SJW.
There was no uproar when Don Imus referred to her as Penis Williams.
I assume you knew about this:
‘Washington, DC’s black Mayor, Anthony Williams, gladly accepted the resignation of his white staff member, David Howard, because Mr. Howard uttered the word ‘niggardly’ in a private staff meeting.’

Of course he got fired for the public reaction to what he said, not what he said, and public reaction is not in dispute. And frankly his denial lacks veracity. The style of play he was describing is NOT guerilla tennis. If it was a white player he could have called it gorilla tennis and it would have been an accurate description and nobody would have cared. He forgot the 3rd rail was in the building, and then instead of falling on his sword he tried to weasel out, and now he’s weaseling harder, and if he’s not careful he’s gonna be under oath when somebody says “and in what world is a stronger, faster, better player charging the net and intimidating their opponent ‘guerilla tennis’?”
I pay for ESPN every month, despite never watching it. Cable providers keep raising rates to pay for ESPN’s high rates, and dwindling subscribers. I will be leaving them next moth. Cable companies will have to dump ESPN to save themselves.
