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

    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.


    Now watch for sorry ass clown CWD to come in here and call me racist

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    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.

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

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

    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!!

    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

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

    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.

    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
