Yes, Kelly Tilghman inadvertent comment about Tiger was in bad taste. However, I find it disturbing that Al Sharpton can make a phone call and change the outcome of a given situation.
It is sad that a proven liar and a civil rights radical has so much influence in our culture. Why does this douchebag have so much power and influence in our society? I have yet to understand it.
The Golf Channel, which originally said there would be no punishment, changed its position less than three hours after Sharpton's remarks with a statement issued Wednesday night:
"The Golf Channel regrets the poorly chosen remarks made by Kelly Tilghman on a recent broadcast and, again, extends our apologies to anyone who was offended. There is simply no place on our network for offensive language like this. While we believe that Kelly's choice of words was inadvertent and that she did not intend them in an offensive manner, the words were hurtful and grossly inappropriate. Consequently, we have decided to suspend Kelly for two weeks, effective immediately." http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/story?id=4114577&page=1
