Since Serena Williams is the undisputed female tennis superpower of this era you would think that her opponents would be the ones using guerrilla tactics

I believe Disney, who is far left, owns both ESPN, and ABC, but you're correct. They have become a far left, progressive propaganda organization like other MSM outlets, and reflect the views of their parent company, and CEO Robert Iger.

So the New York Times twitter dude......doesn't know the difference between Gorilla and Guerilla.

What kind of people are we graduating from college these days & what kind of people is the NYT hiring these days?? Just how far can a once proud periodical actually fall. It's breathtaking how awful they have become.


Regarding ESPN/ABC/Disney/Igor......there's nothing that these idiots at this beta male conglomerate do that surprises me anymore.

- Uncle Walt needs to come back and b*tch slap Igor.

- Howard K Smith, Max Robinson & Frank Reynolds need to come back and b*tch slap EVERYONE over at ABC.

- & ESPN.....good lord, who's running the show over there?? What a bunch of effeminate idiots. Is Chris Berman & Bob Ley still there. I bet they dread going to work each day.


Venus is a classy & intelligent lady (and a great player). I'm sure that she knows the difference, even if the idiots mentioned above don't.

I hope that dude wins his lawsuit.

You either forgot the sarcasm tag or you're a true redneck southerner.

I'm a redneck southerner, well Texan, and I learned the difference long long ago. I remember watching the news and asking my dad how those Viet Cong trained gorillas to fight for them.




Of course, I was 6 , not an adult with presumably at least a high school education.

Most 25 year olds today have the maturity of a 6 year old, the women in particular.

I'm Black and assuming he hasn't shown any bias in the past , and guerrilla is a legitimate term he has a point.

However, it was a poor word choice given who he was announcing. You could definitely label it a performance issue as he should've known better so ESPN has every right to fire him.
