A meteorologist in Atlanta said she received death threats from viewers for interrupting the Masters tournament that featured the historic and improbable win by Tiger Woods.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that CBS 46's Ella Dorsey took to Twitter to defend herself and the broadcast that only took up half the screen during the tournament.

“To everyone sending me death threats right now: you wouldn’t be saying a damn thing if a tornado was ravaging your home this afternoon. Lives are more important than 5 minutes of golf. I will continue to repeat that if and when we cut into programming to keep people safe.”

Do a Bing Image Search on her. You won't find anything not to like.

Why do you need commentators for golf, anyway?

IIRC the O.J. Chase interrupted the NBA Finals.

It also provided one of the greatest moments in TV history, Captain Jenks fake call to Peter Jennings, Al Michaels’ reaction was priceless.

It’s the internet. Does anyone not get death threats?

I agree. Golf courses are beautiful...watching on tv provides great nap material....being there is probably more fun. I would be watching birdlife.
