Ten days after a Golf Channel anchor was suspended for her use of "lynch" in commentary on Tiger Woods, an editor was fired Friday for illustrating the controversy with a noose on the cover of Golfweek magazine.

Tiger indeed explicitly repudiated the idea that there was a 'story' here. This editor deserved to be sacked for trying to foment commotion over nothing.

I was trying to come up with the words to say exactly what you just said before I read your post. You beat me to it. Well said.

Nice colours on the cover, though.

This reactions are absurd. It is not like the editor was promoting racism. O am sick of political correctness.

Everything can be taken out of context. Why not throw a fit over Macy's Red Star? But, of course, a Communist symbol is okay.

Will the noose eventually become "N-word"? But we already have "N-word." So it might have to be "the N2-word."

It’s all right, just remember not to use the terms ‘master’ and ‘slave’ when referring to computer equipment. You and every teacher in the country already know about the ban on the word ‘niggardly’, don’t you.

I have a subscription. I went to the mailbox yesterday, opened it up to find this week's issue, and began to crack up laughing. This has gotten way overblown. I don't necessarily like Kelly's broadcast abilities, but this has become ridiculous. I guess this is her 'Fuzzy Zoeller Moment' ........

Golf itself is so damn uninteresting.

Obviously, you don't know how to play.

1858 - Rowland Hussey Macy was a Nantucket Quaker and whaler who failed several times as a store owner until he founded a “fancy dry goods” store in New York City on 6th Avenue near 14th Street in 1858. He began selling at a fixed price for cash, discounted and advertised his merchandise. The red star tatooed on his hand as a 15-year old boy on the whaling ship Emily Morgan became the symbol of the new store.

Interesting. A guy from India had - maybe still does - a swastika on his wall, said it goes back to ancient times in his country.
