ESPN Commentator Compares Venus Williams to a Gorilla During the Aussie Open

[Russian Rocket]

I think blacks are way too sensitive nowadays. Did this guy do anything wrong here???



People are calling for an ESPN commentator to be fired ASAP after disgustingly comparing Venus Williams to a "gorilla" during her Australian Open match earlier this week.

En route to Williams's 6-3, 6-2 victory over Stefanie Voegele on Tuesday, ESPN's Doug Adler attempted to describe the pressure that Venus was putting on her second-round opponent. That's when he made the racially charged statement.
"[Voegele] misses a first serve and Venus is all over her," Adler said. "You see Venus move in and put the gorilla effect on. Charging."

Absolutely disgusting and everyone from tennis writers to fans let Adler know about it, additionally calling for the Worldwide Leader in Sports to take swift action.

Adler, a former tennis player, reportedly apologized on-air yesterday. But people aren't accepting.

BET.com reached out to ESPN on Thursday morning over Adler's comments, but haven't received a response as of press time.

No he got the wrong sister. Serena is the gorilla.

No

Nothing wrong

[MickeyMan]

If Venus is a gorilla then what the fukk is serena??

[DOM-Ganador]

No he got the wrong sister. Serena is the gorilla.

ZACTLY` what I was thinking. Any chick, white/black/purple with Serena`s body could with good reason be compared to Magilla.

Venus actually looks like a woman.

[themike78]

All blacks are part gorilla. It's scientifically proven.

[stealthyburrito]

He doesn't even call her a gorilla in that statement

[ByeShea]

If Venus is a gorilla then what the fukk is serena??

Silverback.

[themike78]

But seriously it has been proven that they are all part gorilla. Look at their bone structure in their face next time you get close to one. Also the fascination with bananas in the grocery store. And also the ape like noises they make when there is a group of them together.

[Kermit]

Maybe he meant this kind of guerilla?

[VeggieDog]

Comment self-deleted so I don't get banned.

You know in all honesty, I've lived with 5 black roommates over the course of 3+ years, and not once did I see one eat a piece of fresh fruit, let alone a banana. Everything was highly processed BS

It's all good 😊 🎾🏃🏾😀✅🇦🇺✅🇦🇺🏃🏾💰🏃🏾

First of all I am sorry for your experience. But you are right that type of species loves any type of junk food, orange soda, and anything that is fried as well.

I find it sad that being compared to a gorilla is somehow a negative

I love Harambe and strive to show the courage and strength he had

I want to be compared to a gorilla

gorillas are strong, smart, compassionate, alpha, etc... They're what men and professional athletes should strive to be like

I would have expected you to come across more blacks during your time in the homeless shelter.

[juicername]

This. He compared her style of play to a gorilla charging at an enemy. Completely different than comparing HER to a gorilla.

[jjgold]

Everyone's too sensitive and anytime your sense of that means you're very weak race or an individual

[Johnnythunder]

That's the first intelligent comment I've seen from you. Very astute point.

[cwnotorious]

We ALL come from apes

[daneblazer]

Dikks out for Venus

[dlowilly]

At this point I think it's a badge of honor to get fired from ESPN

[opie1988]

Jesus Christ. If Stealthy and Kraken aren't even offended, how the fukk can ANYONE be??

Stealthy had to take several days off work once when I called Mayan a midget wetback. Stealth said he just stayed in bed, cried, and petted his cat for 3 days before he could come to terms with it.

1000% TRUE STORY!!

[RudyRuetigger]

as a male, I am offended

[dlowilly]

We ALL come from apes

No. If you are referring to evolution it says we come from a common ancestor that is neither modern day monkey, ape, baboon, nor human. Some humans are more closely related to that ancestor than others most likely

[rizespor]

He's not wrong. The common ancestor WAS an ape. Just not one that's still an extant species today

[stealthyburrito]

I would have expected you to come across more blacks during your time in the homeless shelter.

Actually true story 2 of those guys let me live in their apartment when I was "homeless" (week between getting out of an awful leasing situation and moving into my next place when I was in college). Nice guys just didn't really take care of themselves.

[cwnotorious]

Just take a look in the mirror doggy, we r monkeys walking upright with less hair

[unde0087]

Can you imagine how outraged the gorilla community is right now?

[TheMoneyShot]

I can't believe I missed this LIVE... would of been hilarious.

Commentator will be fired in 5..... 4...... 3...... 2....... 1......

[dlowilly]

Really all just theoretical no one knows for sure

Some call proconsul an ape, many say it was the non ape precursor to today's apes and humans and other primates

[squarenfl]

gorillas got offended
