Kelly Tilghman, a sports announcer on the Golf Channel, had this to say about Tiger Woods.
"Tilghman and cohort Nick Faldo discussed young players who could possibly challenge Tiger. Faldo, ever the joker, said perhaps the youngsters should "gang up (on Tiger) for a while." The pair laughed a bit before Tilghman responded by saying, "Lynch him in a back alley." The pair chuckled awkwardly before moving on."
The Golf Channel said it received a limited number of complaints regarding the comment."
Tilgman has since apologized for this faux paus, that's not a faux paus. She reached out to Tiger Woods who you know probably just chalked it up being the bigger person like he did with Fuzzy Zueller (Reminder: After Tiger won his first Masters, Fuzzy said something to the effect of the dinner being chicken and watermelon).
At this time, the Golf Channel has no intention of disclining the anchor. It seems like there is a slight hesitation because she's a woman. Remarks on message boards have been harsh against the announcer who has no LGPA tour experience and gets by on her looks.
See whenever you forget, something always goes down to remind you. This is why all this hype behind Barack Obama is just that. If its okay for someone to get on television and feel comfortable enough to even use the word "lynch", there is a problem. And to combine that in a sentence referencing a Black man..this is crazy..Pay Attention!
Know what time it is!
Where are you Al Sharpton? Michael Baisden? I don't care if it is the Golf Channel!
