In response to a comment made by Golf Channel analyst about lynching Tigers woods to end his dominance they have decided to feature a noose on their newest issue. The comment in question took place during a January 4th broadcast with Nick Faldo during the Mercedes-Benz Championship. After the network received a few complaints Tilghman apologized to the network and to Tiger Woods for her choice of words. Woods and his agent accepted the apology and consider the matter a non issue. Reverend Al Sharpton has called for the termination of her employment with the network and she has been suspended for two weeks. The question becomes is did Golfweek make a bigger deal out of the situation than it was in order to sell more issues or are they trying to make a point by creating an open debate on the incident?

They did more than cross the line they brought back images of the old days when that nose was around a black mans head. What did they think the reation would be to such stupidty. Hundreds or more of african american men and women and children lost there lives to this noose this magizine so easly portrays. It brings back a society that expoxed the worst kind of men who had to cover there faces with a white sheet because they were to scared to be seen in public. Cowards that hung innocent people because of there skin color. This magizine has gone over the edge and i wish some how some one could bring a law suit down on them. But we live in a society of free speech and that’s a shame because this magizine is as quilty for the hangings of african americans as was the KKK. I am a white man writing this so do not think i am just another african american spouting off his mouth.
Now I see why Britney couldn’t attend court, Don wasn’t on the radio, and crackhead Willy wasn’t on the corner…they all joined Golfweek’s editorial staff.
Smart like golf tee.
