Should sportscaster Kelly Tilghman have been fired for her suggestion to lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley?

The silly thing about it is that people are turning it into this "it's only a big deal because he's black" or "plenty of white men were lynched" thing.

That's not EVEN the issue, the fact is saying that was WRONG.

No matter what race he is, saying someone should lynch someone else is like saying "He should be shot" or "They should go in an alley and stab him."

Her "joke" was in poor taste, and not very funny.

But, honestly, it's NOBODY'S business anyway, Tiger didn't even seem to care.

So to all of the people who have nothing to do with it: stop playing the "reverse-race" card.

It was an incredibly stupid thing to say, but it should have been forgotten about after Tiger Woods said he wasn't offended. Why wasn't it? Al Sharpton is a f***ing idiot and an enemy of unity and progress in this country. By turning already bad situations into major media catastrophes, he keeps the whole country divided along racial lines. Remember how horribly he handled the Duke Lacrosse rape (false) accusations. That's Sharpton in a nutshell. Take a potentially explosive situation and add Sharpton. He's like an open flame.

What's wrong with the American sports public today? Everyone is so darn thin skinned. It was bad humor which was taken in a serious manner by a bunch of dummies who had nothing better to do. She used the wrong simile. With Tiger out of the way other golfers might just step up and take his place. Nothing racist and no ill will meant. Did they make a big deal when Imus erred? Yes, and it cost him!! Did they make a big deal when the Right all Mighty Reverend Al Sharpton paraded that fake Tiwana Brawley who claimed rape and he went ballistic? Not a word ? Racist ? You bet you!!

No. She is a relatively inexperienced sportcaster who, on the spur of the moment, made a bad joke that was in no way intended to be harmful or disrespectful. And Woods himself indicated that she is a friend and he took no offense. End of story

Fired no, taken in to a back alley and lynched? Maybe

Seeing that Tiger is more Asian than Black, no! Not only that, who gave sharpton the right to claim that lynching only applies to blacks?

Sharpton is just looking for an opportunity.

Unlike the annoyingly pc left and their hypocritical beliefs Tiger understands context and isn't blowing this out of proportion. People should relax already this nation are far too wound up an anal about things these days. YA is a perfect example.

No. But if she really likes her media role she should be pubicly inerviewed a few times over time to discuss why she thinks people in her life so freely use such language. And why.

This crap doesn't just come from nowhere. It doesn't just drop out of the sky randomly out of nowhere from a bird flying overhead.

I think Tiger should have been allowed to determine what happened to her. HE was the one spoken about, HE was the person to be offended - if anyone was to be offended.

Tiger is an adult - why take the power away from him to act like an adult?

I dont know exactly what she said or what she said it in response to. so i couldnt really say. Apparently tiger woods didnt mind
