Tiger "ok" with lynching comment but Al Sharpton is not

Golf announcer Kelly Tilghman has apologized for her insensitive racial remarks. Tiger Woods has forgiven her. The Golf Channel has suspended Tilghman for 2 weeks.

It's never that simple.

Tiger may have let Tilghman's comment slide, but Al Sharpton busted out the "Hell-to-the-Nah" stamp on this one!


On Wednesday, CNN reported that Sharpton compared Tilghman's "lynching comment" to calling for a woman to be raped or for a Jewish-American to be sent to a gas chamber.

Sharpton said he wants Tilghman fired, period. And if the Golf Channel doesn't comply, the network can expect to see Sharpton and his National Action Network supporters picketing its Orlando, Florida, headquarters.

Yikes! That's some boiling water right there. And Tilghman is the lobster about to get served...

Sometimes you have to appreciate Al's enthusiasm (although he still does not speak for me) :)
