Is there any wonder that ESPN's ratings are tanking. I heard one guy comment and put down Trump a year ago, and I never watched ESPN since. Their politically correct garbage is hurting them and ABC that owns them is about as PC as you can get. They are destroying that network, and all we want to do is watch sports.

I'm glad they are getting sued, everyone should sue them.

An ESPN commentator is suing the network for wrongful termination after they fired him for supposedly calling Venus Williams a "Gorilla,"...

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”.

If this is true, the network better be sprinting to settle.

I hope he wins big time, and I hope he learns a lesson about PC and SJW.

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.
