HONOLULU (AP) -- Golf Channel suspended anchor Kelly Tilghman for two weeks on Wednesday for saying last week that young players who wanted to challenge Tiger Woods should "lynch him in a back alley."
Tilghman was laughing during the exchange Friday with analyst Nick Faldo at the Mercedes-Benz Championship, and Woods' agent at IMG said he didn't think there was any ill intent.
But the comments became prevalent on news shows Wednesday, and the Rev. Al Sharpton joined the fray by demanding she be fired immediately. Golf Channel didn't know who would replace Tilghman in the booth this week at the Sony Open or next week at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.
"There is simply no place on our network for offensive language like this," Golf Channel said in a statement.

sounds like the reporter was saying the only chance they have of beating tiger is to eliminate the compitition (in a joking manner), we really have become the "United States of the offended" course its only normal behaivior for the "reverend" Al Sharpton[:-][&o][X(]

Yes Kelly did say it. BUT She did not say it in a racist tone. She was simple stating that Tiger Woods is the best Golfer in the world.

Tiger said he didn't have a problem with it. It should be a non-issue.

Al Sharpton should be lynched in a back alley....

[Bob H in NH]

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are one and the same, just looking for something to get offended over.

Tiger should come out about it laughing!

Jut because someone get the abbreviation "Rev." in front of their name does not make them a saint.

Stupid that she should even get suspended.

I can understand how it happened but just the same broadcasters have to be very careful today with all the PC business going around. Even back in 1983 when Howard Cosell made his "look at that little monkey go" quote referring to Alvin Garret of the Redskins, it was taken out of context and actuallystarted beginning of the end of his football broadcasting career. Imus is another good example of wrong words in a public broadcast costing a job.Kelly will be lucky to recover from this professionally. It really doesn"™t matter how Woods views it. To turn your back on the comment brings its own punishment and nobody will want to take the fall. Kelly will be gone.

They would never make it in the oil business. If you get your feelings hurt because someone calls you a name you would be in trouble. Most people worry about what they say nowadays because they are afraid someone will get mad. In my business if they don't call you names or give you a hard time it just means they don't like you and are ignoring you. Though the same preson that is calling you a name will be the first person to help you out if you need help.
