Career ending comment?
I don’t think so. She’s well-respected by her peers and the pros. Probably only Inga would cause a fuss. Or as Inga would pronounce it “a fussh”.
I doubt it. She’ll apologize, and Tiger will accept the apology. My guess is that she’s not bright enough to realize that “to lynch” has alternate meanings.
I am sure they were trying best to figure out how this should be handled in the most respectful way towards Tiger and their audience. This is why it probably took a couple of days. (with outside intervention it could have turned into a powder keg and she would have been forced out.) Believe it or not there are still media companies that maintain dignity and close relationships with those they cover as well as with their behavior and audience--except John Daly and that guy on the Grey Goose Vodka show with the big mouth.
She can follow Jimmy The Greek and Howard Cosell to "Bummer Comment, Dude" Retirement.
