Golf Channel anchor says young golfers should 'lynch Tiger Woods'
What is it about Duke? Okay, maybe that's not fair. But it did make me scratch my head and wonder when I read what Kelly Tilghman (pictured with Arnold Palmer), a former Blue Devil golfer, said on the Golf Channel last Friday during her gig as co-lead announcer for the network's telecast of the Mercedes-Benz Championship, the PGA Tour's inaugural event of the season.
I have not seen the clip, nor do I know the context of the remarks. This is what I know — that Tilghman, who never played on the LPGA Tour, said golf's young players should "lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley."
Had Woods been white, to use the most heinous crime committed in this nation to illustrate God-knows-what point would have been egregious. But that he's not makes the remark unconscionable. And punishable.
It would be a travesty if Tilghman is allowed to broadcast the next event for the Golf Channel. (It speaks volumes already that she was allowed to sit on the air all day Saturday, as if nothing happened. She then offered an on-air apology Sunday but still did the entire telecast.)
At minimum, a suspension is in order. Some will surely call for a firing. If the network does nothing — just months after the Jena Six dominated the nation's airwaves — it would make a significant statement about the network's tolerance of such actions. A statement that would hurt the sport of golf and rekindle memories of a racist history that Woods' success has helped it begin to move past.
Doing nothing would remind us of Fuzzy Zoeller
Doing nothing would remind us of Shoal Creek.
Doing nothing would not be smart.
Okay, so it's just the Golf Channel. And Kelly Tilghman is simply a hottie that was given an opportunity to anchor a telecast because she can swing a golf club.
That is not the point. Tolerance at any level cannot be tolerated.
Your move, GC.
Tilghman has reportedly reached out to Woods to apologize. Here's hoping, at least for the moment — until the Golf Channel makes its statement — that he does not accept the call. Or the apology.

LOL. What a stupid ass… Its like, she meant to be all jokey about it, and instead of choosing her words wisely, she might have just fucked her career! Why would anyone, of any skin color, talk about lynching in a joking way?? Der! I don't think she should loose her job, but maybe she should be suspended or put out a formal apology! Maybe a PSA? Something!

RACISTS ARE ALL INBREAD, RETARDED, UNEDUCATED DUMB CUNTS! I wish we would have a holocaust that involves puttin all the racists into concentration camps and shooting their asses one by one.
That should and will solve the problem.
She and Tiger are friends. She just got nervous and said something stupid while they were joking around together. Why don't you actually watch the footage before making her out to be some kind of Klan member? Stupid and unprofessional, yes, but not racist.
And leave Duke out of it. Remember, Duke atheletes were the victims of a black woman, not the other way around.
That's a lesbian for you.
but according to him he's not black so why
should that be considered offensive?
FUCK TIGER "I'M-NOT-BLACK-I'M-TAIWANESE" WOOD.
Hahah! He makes me sick, and I hope this is a damn wake up call for his ashamed to be black ass!
oooh snap!!! u know AL Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are gonna all up on this shit.. Why didnt they make the List of most annoying people in america? people alwys take everything out of context.. my white friends always call me beaner and i do the same, pinche honkies. c'mon folk, lighten up.
You're just posting this now??? Get with the times…this is yesterday's news!
God. I *hate* that rich, arrogant, fake Black man. It's stupid-ass picture poses like these that make me want to shove a shovel right between his stupid-ass Jimmy Carter-like teeth. Stupid. Black man.
I don't think she meant it in a racial way and I hate it when everything is spun into some sort of racial thing. uggggh.
But she should be fired simply for the fact that she is unprofessional and has no sophistication, what's she going to say next? They should rape his rank shit lined ass with a golf club?
Re: rodrick – Rush Limbaugh DID NOT CALL OBAMA The Magic Negro..he was reading an column in the LA TIMES, which called Obama the Magic Negro. Please know what you're talking about before you post falsehoods.
Re: rodrick – "Barak The Magic Negro" was written by a San Francisco DJ who happens to be black. Rush merely played along.
To #70
Tiger Wood is not half Taiwanese. His mother is from Thailand. If you can't even get your fact straight, the rest of your comment has no ground.
People are sure having a slip of the tongue lately in the US- The racists really came out in 07'- Well Kelly congrats! You are the the first racist out in the open from the media in 08'- Happy New Year Y'all
that slip is what you are truly thinking- trust me
People watch the Golf Channel? I'm sure this will spike their ratings now!
Let's simmer down. We'll have to start policing all the black/latina people who comment that white people can't dance, have no booties, etc.
Britney knows what she is doing, she is not mentally ill or being taken advantage of. She likes the attention. She hooks up with paps to create all these breaking news to stay in spotlight. It makes her feel like she is still a star and she loves it. I bet you they paid her some money too.
She no longer wants to work to stay in spotlight. Working is too hard for her now. She wants to make money from selling tabloid stories.
seems like there are alot of E- ballerrrs on here!!
You know, it sucks that she said this, but it's not entirely out of step for golf. After all, GOLF stands for Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden…..
I hope tiger takes her for all she's got. I don't watch golf, don't care, but saying any shit like that is uncalled for.
The Jena 6 were criminals that beat a kid almost to death SOLELY FOR BEING WHITE. Fuck them and fuck you, Perez.
BFD. What a non-story. YAWN. next… !?!?!
#79 People might say that certain races cannot can't dance but I think it's on a whole other level then saying you want to kill a person…things that make you say hmmmm
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU WASPs?!?!?! Holy shit! DO UR NATION A FAVOR AND JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! "Ya'll" are being overrun by better, smarter, non-trashy people.
FUCK YOU WHITE RACISTS!!! Seriously, go study the FUCKING constitution…"'cuz it's YOUR country, right?" You FUCKHEADS! we should burn all their fat balding republican heads at the stake.
Re: Hilary Clinton – CUNT!
Perez, you're an idiot for reporting this without all the facts. Kelly and Tiger are friends. She has known him for over 12 years. She and Nick Faldo were discussing Tiger's dominance in the sport and was just making a remark to that young golfers should get rid of him if they want a chance at winning. Yes she used poor choice of words, but she isn't a racist. Tiger wasn't offended, so why shoud you be.
#70 - You're an idiot as well. Tiger isn't ashamed of his african american roots, he just doesn't want to be labeled "black". After all, wouldn't it be a slap in his mother's face not to recognize his asian roots.
Tiger Woods is an exceptional athlete and role model. His race is not a qualifier in that.
Why is it so easy for people to be hateful in blogs? Why is spreading I dare say love so difficult, so inconceivable, so unhuman? I am constantly reminded and amazed that despite how we attempt to hide behind deodorants, perfumes and clothing….we are still animals. Evolution has played a trick on us. We just look smarter. Everything goes to shit once we open our mouths.
There's just no good way to spin a comment like that. That was very, very offensive. I don't know what the hell she was thinking!!
Big fucking deal. One slip up and you all wet your pants. So funny how the world we live in is ready get out their pitchforks over a word. WE MUST SEEK REVENGE! SHE SHALL BE FIRED AND LYNCHED HERSELF.
lmao listen to yourselves.
Anyone remember "Jimmy the Greek"?
Re: Lynne – Please, let someone speak ill of this incredible jerk. How can you defend him? I was starting to feel excited that people were starting to wake up! Just let people say anything negative about Rude, Redneck, Republican Rush!
Re: PerezIsADbag – please google Jena 6 and read the whole story….because what you just was was extremely ignorant…you kinda missed the whole thing that started the jena 6 six story
the racist comment is intolerable, but how come we give the sexist slur, made against Tilghman later in the article, a pass?
even if tiger was white…the term lynch really shouldnt be used. If you do your research you'll see that it originated against blacks. and yea whoever said racism doesnt exist is a dumbass….i mean just read, what, half of the comments throughout perez's website. People can just be so rude and ignorant! UGH! it makes me sick.
and yes sometimes things are really twisted to make it seem racist and get out of hand. but come on this time it is kinda racist. She could ofjust said young golfers need to do something to get rid of tiger! lynching is not something to joke about
WHOA! That is so fucking heinous. Tiger Woods has done so much for the game of golf in general never mind for his race. He should be remembered as the sum of what he was personally but still that comment to possibly the greates golfer ever should land that bitch on the welfare line.
Tiger Woods is a great example and a true hero.
that person is so out of line and ridiculous. but tiger woods is scum, he cheats on his wife with prostitutes
Re: oprah – YOU AGAIN BITCH!?!?! I had to respond to your last stupid comment about the Spice Girls. MOST WHITE AMERICANS DO NOT BELIEVE THAT! WAY TO GENERALIZE YOUR ENTIRE RACE . My boyfriend is white and I bet that probably kills you doesn't it. That he's in love with a BLACK GIRL! that he wants to marry a BLACK GIRL! Get over yourself and take your little racist ass back to 1910 where you belong and where that shit is acceptable…
oh yeah i forgot.
OBAMA FOR '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Times are changing.
DEAL WITH IT.
I'm positive that the fat-ass homo is trying to be something he will never be, A LEGITIMATE JOURNALIST. Give the gal a chance to explain in what context the statement was made in. Fat Homo Man is trying to stir things up he knows nothing about. Shut the fuck up and do what you do best: being a fat homo with no clue.
For everyone that disagrees with Perez, I challenge you to Google the word lynching, and switch it to the image search. It does not matter what the circumstance was, or what context it was used in, or if it was just a "cute" thing said between friends. It is the history of the word, and what it implicates toward the ENTIRE African-American community that counts. Ignorance is not bliss.
