Golf Channel - Is this publicity stunt using Kelly?

Question

Not bad publicity - especially when Tiger says - no big deal - they are friends - why get offended by something that wasn't said as a racist comment.

Some people need to relax - life is too short to take things so seriously - and to throw stones at people you don't know - that's probably worse than someone saying something that can be interpreted many different ways.

Answer 1

not a publicity stunt. they had to do that.

Answer 2

I don't think this is a publicity stunt.  I think that some people were offended and it has become a huge stink.  I really don't think she intended the remark in any racist or negative way.  She picked the wrong word - the sentiment was that as long as he is around nobody will beat Tiger.  A sentiment that most of us share.

It is a shame that she is being so beat up over this.  Especially since she apologized and even Tiger has spoken out on her behalf.
