Golf Channel anchor says young golfers should 'lynch Tiger Woods'

[OdiN]

Who the fuck cares.

 

[alkemyst]

By a blue eyed blonde none the less. Talk about career suicide. IMUS calling that team a bunch of nappy headed hoes seems pale by comparision.

Why would she wish for the days when that was the rule?

You do know that spreading urban legends is a sure sign of lazy ignorance, right?

 

[HannibalX]

So don't watch the channel. I don't.

If the Golf channel doesn't like what she is saying they will fire her.

There are stupid people in the world, a lot of them. This type of nonsense is nothing new.

Pretty insensitive IMO. How could someone living in America not be aware of something so well known historically (although deplorable), and still make those comments? Good inference re: the Max Weinberg comment.

thing is, do you fire her because what she said is racially insensitive, or do you fire her for pissing off one of the most powerful men in golf? not something to be taken likely if you make your business golf.

You fire her for the complete a total lack of intelligence it took to think that "lynch" was a good term to use in this scenario.

Lynching doesn't necessarily refer to blacks.

She suggested that young golfers to essentially put to death Tiger Woods (as by hanging) by mob action without legal sanction. Which was traditionally done to black slaves in this country for hundreds of years.

It was also applied to Whites...or did you not learn that in school?

Yeah, she's a racist or a tremendous moron.

On the flipside, this is the Golf Channel so maybe nobody saw it. 😉

that is not AT ALL what golf means, no matter what the e-mail from your girlfriends aunt told you.

Seriously, why the fvck are you guys getting bent out of shape over this? I fvcking hate this media sensationalist bullsh!t. The author didn't even know the context, nor see or hear a clip.

That explains it a little bit better than the piece of dog sh!t journalism that is that Yahoo story.

Boohoo, someone made a joke, probably a little insensitive but not at all serious or meant to be racist. It's not like she said "hey let's lynch that black boy, he don't belong on the golf course". Seriously. :roll:

What she said was stupid, but if you think she was deliberately trying to be racist you're as stupid as her.
Do you really think she deliberately said a racist comment and didn't expect to be fired? :roll: It's obvious it was just a stupid way to put it.

While I agree with the point that it was supposed to be a compliment (in a back-handed way maybe) saying that because of his dominance he has curtailed possibility for younger golfers. I don't agree that there should be no action taken though.

Pity though, as she is not only hot and can golf ... but is also a pretty good announcer in terms of golf. People that think she was just a pretty face aren't accurate. Pretty, yes, but also athletic and golf-intelligent. It will be interesting to see what happens.

OMG NICK FALDO SAID HTEY SHOULD GANG UP ON HIM!

THEY USED TO GANG UP ON SLAVES BACK IN THE DAY!

HE'S A RACIST!!

:Q

 

[paulxcook]

I'd still like to see the context of it. Dumb move on her part, maybe dumb enough to fire her, but I doubt she keeps a sheet costume in her closet.

 

[slag]

This woman looks nice.

She's white and looks longer than your average cloak or cape.

 

[Sqube]

Pretty White Girl vs. Asinine Comment?

PWG'll be fine. It was a dumb thing to say, but I'm quicker to assume people are just fucking stupid, insensitive, or looking for attention these days than I am to assume that people are overtly racist.

Absolutely and unequivocally disagree 101%. Imus is an idiot, he knew his actions were idiotic and the outrage over his statements was justified. This was much more a stupid mistake than a deliberate troll like the Imus thing.

 

[jjones]

Absolutely ignorant and reactionary reporting.

While the remark is stupid, the context does matter if one is to decide to pass this off as faux pas or something worth ostracizing her for.

OMG SOMETHING SAID WHO CARES WHAT CONTEXT LETS JUMP THE BANDWAGON

^PCretards and plain ol retards

 

[skace]

Unless the context is "you should never say lynch a black person", context really doesn't fucking matter. What next, you going to use gas a jew to explain how the only way to beat him is to kill him?

 

[Queasy]

Need to correct the title. Should read "Soon to be Former Golf Channel anchor..."

 

[KLin]

lol at the ending

Of that there is no doubt. :laugh::thumbsup:

 

[Fingolfin269]

Racially insensitive in my age group? Check.

Racially insensitive in her age group? Who knows? My younger brother's generation is a lot different than mine when it comes to this kind of thing. If you have ever played an online game on Xbox Live you will totally understand where I'm going with this in relation to a certain 'N' word that is not even considered insensitive by a lot of the younger crowd.

I think she is stupid for bringing it up but in all honesty doubt she is a racist.

I agree with you JHill. She was just making a joke. And these PC idiots on her are just making a mountain out of a mole hill.

 

[Atrail]

I think this is no big deal and there is nothing behind it. Stupid things pop out of this girls mind all the time and she just blurts them out. Just watch her on the Golf Channel sometime, she is not a good commentator in general and I wish they would replace her.

It was a really really stupid thing to say.

Yes, it was stupid. But I wouldn't get my panties in a wad over it. Lynching just means to kill someone without legal authority. She should get fired for saying they should kill him before they bring in racist reasons.

...how old are you?

Lynching refers to Blacks 98% of the time; esp in this country. We have a rather deplorable history concerning that, if you were not aware.

Tiger Woods also happens to be black. I believe the inference was quite obvious....

....why would you defend her?

This thread is headed to P&N, look. Look, the guy isn't even black enough to be black. Was it insensitive? Yes, should she be removed? No, I think she should apologize though.
