Racism everywhere!
You already know that ESPN has fallen very far, from its heyday as the global leader in sports programming to its current pathetic state as a pusher of left-wing social sensibilities that uses sports a foil. ESPN celebrates on-air personalities like Tony Kornheiser, Michael Wilbon and Stephen A. Smith for their courageous liberal pronouncements. (For the record, I love Smith . . . but he is what he is.) ESPN fires conservatives like Curt Schilling who express their opinions, even when they do so off the air and completely apart from their role on ESPN.
Funny, I used to play a lot of tennis, and we would commiserate about one particular guy who was a good friend of all of us, but he would never engage in a volley to win...he would simply try to get it back to you, and you would eventually become so impatient that would eventually make a mistake!
It used to drive us crazy, but in looking at it, it worked for him! It was just maddening, because you wanted a real volley, and you would instead get “whack! bounce...lob...whack! bounce...lob...whack!...bounce...lob, etc.
We called it guerrilla tactics even back then!
That said, I agree, it reflects on the stupidity of the people filing the suit, and doubly (and entertainingly as well as hilariously, to me) on the liberals at ESPN being hoisted on their own petard!
Kind of like that extremely liberal woman (Paula Deen) on some cooking show who used the “N” word, and no matter how abjectly she apologized, her career as she knew it was over, ended by the liberals who she worshiped.
“In Mercia? The cocoanut’s tropical!”
The left certainly is niggardly with their tolerance these days.
And that phrase also has nothing to do with a larger, stronger, faster opponent charging the net.
That is guerilla tennis. And that is also NOT how Venus was playing that match or plays in general. She was charging the net and killing the ball, a style of play that for a white player could easily be described as gorilla tennis. I think he just forgot the 3rd rail was in the building, and probably would have been better served by simply admitting he screwed up.
Isn’t ESPN hosted by jocks and former jocks?
Very similar to the leftist meltdown after somebody said somebody was niggardly (meaning stingy). Leftists are simply not sane.
seems a little niggling on ESPN’s part.
I thought Kurt Russell and Martin Short had ironed this out many, many moons ago in “Captain Ron”.
guerrilla: noun...a person who engages in irregular warfare especially as a member of an independent unit carrying out harassment and sabotage
Blame it all on the closed captioning.
"Well, if anythings gonna happen, its gonna happen out there"...
ESPN has got so political I do not watch it. IMHO they can go to hell.
Guerrillas in the mist.
yup one of my faves if i catch it channel surfing i watch it
I like seeing em squirm anyway!
Reminds me of the flap when some “racist” used the word “niggardly” to describe someone.
Ya I remember the uproar over using the word niggardly.
Are some people just always on the lookout for ways to be allegedly offended???
