While flipping through some news pages at work today I came across this story that left me speechless, not only for the fact that it was terrible, but also for the incredibly small amount of coverage it received. Kelly Tilgham was anchoring coverage of the opening PGA Tour event of the season for the Golf Channel when she began to banter with
her co-anchor, Nick Faldo. While discussing the way that Tiger Woods abuses his competitors, Tilgham uttered the young players today should “lynch Tiger in a back alley.” Yes, she used the word lynch, and as I stated earlier, are you serious? She has reportedly apologized publicly as well as directly to Tiger, but how is this just being brushed off. The only answer to this would have to be that she is a woman. The use of the word lynch is almost criminal and especially in a day when Keith Hernandez is getting fired for saying that women don’t belong in the dugout. Action needs to be taken swiftly and mostly because this comment wasn’t even funny like Lamar Thomas who lost his job. It might get interesting if we see some feminists go up against Al Sharpton in a battle royale to see who is more influential. I’d get the Pay Per View.
