'Lynch Tiger Woods' Not as Bad as 'Nappy-Headed Hos'
Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman – who, during the PGA Tour on Friday, advised young players they should "lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley" as a way of competing – is not likely to face significant disciplinary action from the network, we're hearing. As expected, Tilghman (who's the main play-by-play announcer for the tour) apologized to viewers as well as to Woods, and that seems to be good enough for the Golf Channel. While some will call for a suspension or her firing, she pulled an Ace from her sleeve: "friend" Tiger Woods found "no ill-intent" in Kelly's word choice and has effectively brushed off the matter. And according to one insider, that's satisfied execs.

What a moron. She should work at Fox.
Whether she was making fun of America’s racism and racist legacy and/or stroking Woods (with a peculiar choice of words), it was an inappropriate remark nonetheless. Regardless of if there was ‘ill intent’, Tiger Woods and everyone else needs to acknowledge the fact that what she said was irresponsible and that she should resign or be fired.
