all over the use of the word ‘guerilla,’ a word that is commonly used in tennis.”
If they bring an expert witness, they can refute the shite out of that being a common tennis term.

Like I said, I don't know. I'm not a tennis player.all I can do is go by what the article said.

Maybe he coined a new phrase for the sport. If he said this about a white tennis player, would he be facing the same situation?
If I say a Kenyan long distance runner runs like a gazelle, is that racist?

I don't see where it matters if it is a "common tennis term" or not. He used a word that is defined in the English language as "referring to actions or activities performed in an impromptu way". I kinda like when announcers use words to describe what they see that aren't the same old tired cliches. A football quarterback who runs around in the pocket and scrambles for yardage could be said to be "guerilla". So for him having a larger vocabulary than the average street idiot, he gets fired. Sounds about right.
