I couldn't remember what he'd done to be banished to be honest. Many, many tennis "journalists" have said worse about other players present and past.

Hot mic’d. Tasteless snarky comment but who hasn’t made one of those when we thought no one was listening? I have.

Who hasn't made a comment like that knowing people were listening?
It is downright McCarthyistic. The slightest bit, and you are banned, punished or ex-communicated. Way too much.
It is not as if the guy is a walking insulting machine.
(Still peeved with him when he said "the poorly named" contest (meaning our SP), especially after we had changed it. But, still love his commentary).

When did he say the SP is a poorly named contest?

He plugged the SP after you asked him for a bit of a push, but he made a comment about "the poorly named" or "the sadly named" contest. He was referring to our previous name and, perhaps, had not noticed we had moved to SURVIVORS' pool.
