Major props to new @espn president Jimmy Pitaro. ESPN has settled Doug Adler’s lawsuit after he was fired for using phrase “guerrilla effect” in a Venus Williams match and they have rehired him to cover tennis matches. As close to a public apology as I have ever seen.


Tldr

Dude says "guerrilla" during Venus Williams match. Gets fired. He sues ESPN.

Good that he's back, but he's no Carlos Ramos

Pretty sure no one knew he had been fired in the first place

But boo ESPN. Rah righteous something something over something something.

This was fricking absurd.

"Guerilla Tennis" was even the center of a Nike campaign with Andre Agassi if I remember correctly.

Hope he got paid.

Is this a new front office that hired him back because I feel like I'd have to tell them to go frick themselves otherwise?
