I recall when Cosell got in hot water for saying "that little monkey" during a football game and it was shown afterwards he used the term previously for a white player.

It would seem ESPN is treating this guy quite niggardly.

I recall Cosell saying about a black receiver that had just made a great catch ...

“His arms are so long his knuckles drag on the ground.”

“Captain Ron” had this same problem. ESPN needs to step back and take a deep breath. Maybe lighten up a little.

“The tennis match was like a war.”

Please see the movie Capt Jack and use of words: guerrilla vs gorilla

gorilla/ guerrilla. You might see a gorilla in a zoo, but a guerrilla (sometimes spelled with one “r”), is someone who belongs to a group of independent fighters. ... Guerrilla comes from the Spanish word for a war made up of skirmishes. That guerilla is related to guerra for (you guessed it), war.
gorilla vs. guerrilla

"Guerrilla" or "Gorilla"

Note to self: use the Spanish pronunciation of this word next time.

Extra trill on the "rr" just to make sure.

Anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, can be considered racist and he has no recourse.

“Former tennis pro Doug Adler maintains he was describing Williams’ aggressive style last month as “guerrilla” tactics and not comparing her with a “gorilla.””

Hilarious.

There was a clown sports reporter on Don Imus’ radio show some years ago who got into a bit of trouble over the Williams sisters. Sports Illustrated was supposedly looking to sign them for a “sports babe swimsuit issue” of some kind. This guy said they belonged in National Geographic instead. LMAO.

Seriously, I have never heard the phrase "gorilla tactics", except maybe in the "George of the Jungle" movie. Anyone who thought that was what was said is an idiot.

Do gorillas even use tactics? I'd think they're pretty straightforward. Probably why they made good soldiers in the Planet of the Apes movies.
