YT: The Moment ESPN Pundit Compares Venus Williams To GORILLA (0:19)

Daily Mail: Tennis commentator sues ESPN after he was fired and accused of racism for calling Venus Williams a 'gorilla' - insisting he was describing her 'guerrilla' tactics instead

Retired tennis player turned broadcaster Doug Adler is suing ESPN for wrongful termination after he was fired over a remark he made about Venus Williams during the Australian Open. The former player claimed he suffered 'emotional distress' in a court filing in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging he was wrongly branded a racist and has lost other TV opportunities because of the controversy. His lawsuit calls for punitive financial damages, but doesn't name an amount.

His lawyer, David M. Ring, gave the sports network a serve in a statement on Tuesday.

'The irony is that Adler called everything correctly and in a professional manner, whereas ESPN did not – they recklessly made the wrong call,' Ring said.

'It was not only political correctness gone overboard, but also a cowardly move that ruined a good man's career.'

The statement also included a comment from Adler, who said: 'It was shocking to be treated this way by folks who've known me forever... Anyone who has ever competed in sports knows exactly the meaning of the term I used. Period.'
