How crappy is is that the Golf Channel suspended Kelly Tilghman over her "lynching" comment?

Question

She didn't mean anything racist by it, she apologized for her poor choice of words, and she apologized to Tiger (who was gracious enough to say that it wasn't any big deal). Some corporate a*****e decided that Al Sharpton was going to sit outside his office unless he inflicted some public punishment on Kelly. That sucks!

Answer 1

Al Sharpton has as much to do with the the Golf channel as I do BET. Can we please keep Al Sharpton out of golf. I'm wringing my hands here at how stupid this is. She's friends with Tiger...they talked...it's OK.  I'm not a big fan of Tiger, Mostly because of the actions of his JERK WHITE CADDY, and some of his actions on the course, but you don't see me calling David Duke. Hey, what's Jesse Jackson's take on this? C'mon, They even brought Fuzzy Back up.....puuuuuullleeeeze

Answer 2

Al Sharpton.....lol

Answer 3

if tiger was a white male she wouldn't have used that word.

Answer 4

Who is Al Sharpton? And all the self proclaimed community leaders? No one represents me. Him talking about my people etc...Please.  It was not directed in anyway,but that is what the media does best. Word things different to get ratings up. Golf Channel, quit being a follower and be a leader.  Kelly, you are making history and so are the women on espn sports.  This guys have nothing better to do but run my light bill up while I'm trying to watch my TV.  And why is he worried about golf? Shouldn't he be in Washington heckling the government about his people (like he says) out in the coast not being taken care of?  Who pays this guys anyway?   kelly you have been forgiven by TW. That's what matters.

Answer 5

Exceedingly crappy!  TGC definitely took the low road.

Answer 6

Very crappy.  More PC knee-jerk reaction c**p.  She even knows Tiger personally.  I have said much worse stuff about my friends when I'm joking around, which she obviously was.

Answer 7

whatever i hate that lady she is snobbish

Answer 8

Again, another comment blown out of proportion. Al Sharpton sits back and waits for these opportunities to extort the public.  Kelly talked to Tiger and it was not a problem for him.  It's time we stopped worrying about what is politicall correct, and start using common sense.
