Noose gets editor fired

Drugs had to be involved in the planning of that cover.

So, Al Sharpton and his merry men started reading their History books on the chapter beginning in 1820?

It's too bad the guy lost his job, but the cover WAS over the top bullshit.    Al Sharpton needs to step off the plank into a big vat of boiling tar.  Fuck that guy.

This is yet another case of oversensitive PC bullshit like Imusgate.

Starting with the girl who said the other golfers were going to lynch Woods.

Ok, yeah, I can see where that was bad, but she clearly didn't intend it to be. In my world, you laugh at the unfortunate coincidence in the word choice, and you move on.

And now this about the dude getting fired for putting a noose on the cover when COVERING the story about how she brought up lynching? That's beyond ridiculous in my opinion.

I mean, what the hell else could they have put on the cover, since that's the topic of the cover story? Were they allowed to reference the lynching quote on the inside?

Let alone the fact that people are acting like a noose is equal to pointy topped white sheet robes and a burning cross (although in this particular situation, that would have been appropriate too, since that what the friggin controversy is ABOUT). Like Hugh Jass said, like no one in the history of civilization has been executed by hanging besides at the hands of the KKK.

Ok, I'm done.

[Lurking Tiger]

Ok, I'm done.

I'll start. It's horseshit.

Last time I read that shitty mag. I hope the editor emeritus sues their asses.

I'm done.

The problem I have with the whole thing is that it did not even bother the person it was said about.  Tiger has known Kellie a long time and he said that he was not offended, accepted her apology, and has moved on.

Now in comes the politically coorect crowd to pick up the banner for all those poor blacks that were offended by the comment.  Well if you get offended about something that was not even aimed at you, then you are truely a pitiful excuse for a human being.  Now they want to fire everyone that is involved and make their lives miseable.  These idiots need to get a life and start trying to fight for things that will actually help those they claim to be looking out for.

Most of my black freins say they will give up on the game.

Good, most of them play way too slow anyway!!!! 

While you're at it can you get all your women friends to quit playing too.  They are even slower than the black ones.  I've always said that the only time a woman should be on the golf course is after dark.
