Say no to racist. Twitter users ask ESPN to fire commentator after his comment about Venus Williams


Some twitter users took to the social network to blast
an ESPN commentator after he used the term
''Gorilla effect''' to describe Venus' performance i
Wednesday's Australian Open.
Doug Adler, a former tennis professional player
who commentates for ESPN, said Venus puts 'the
gorilla effects on' during her second round win
over Stefanie Voegele.
Narrating the action, he said:
"She misses a first serve and Venus is all
over her. You will see Venus move in and
puts the gorilla effect on. Charging".
Twitter users were quick to blast him, asking
ESPN to sack him, while some defended him
saying he actually meant “guerilla” and not
'gorilla' as some had thought.
