I just read your article, Spin. I'm not a golf enthusiast myself, so this is the very first I've even heard of it. That being said; two things are obvious to me on this:this young lady was very stupid in her choice of words. I don't know if she meant that other young golfers should lynch Tiger Woods because he's black, (or mixed-race) or because it's the only way the other golfers will ever get a shot at the big time. Tiger Woods has achieved the status of being the greatest golfer ever-Black, White, or other.And he may hold this distinction for all eternity.
Is punishment in order? Without a doubt. But before this can be done, let us look back at the Don Imus situation one more time. In that case, (as I originally predicted in another thread when the story first broke) it actually turned out that his rado employers contracted him to say something as outlandish as what he did. I suspected something like this because with all the platitudes and apologies that followed, NONE came from the management of the media outlets- in short, it was a ratings ploy.
Now in this case, I would suggest that the FCC look into filing felony charges
against this young lady and the Golf Channel for that statement over television airwaves. I'd have to check a bit as to what the law states -and how it would be termed to incite assault using the media. I'm sure lawyers will have one heck of a time with this mess. But this stands a chance of having happened for much the same reason- ratings. The conumdrum we face is:whom do we blame? The girl who made the idiotic statement; or the employers who may have paid or had her under contract to do so?
This is why I suggest the pusuit of felony charges. I'm sure this silly child will spill the beans and answer the real questions one second after the handcuffs click shut. Like Don Imus, let us see first what the Golf Channel reacts to this. If they fire her, and terminate any employment contract she was under, and issue a public statement avowing any knowledge of this, it may be that they were not aware of this beforehand. That was the key to the Imus mess. As it will be here also.
By the way Spin Doctor, where have you been lately? Currently in another thread called "What is a Jew"? you will find racism and hatred in it's most vile form- and that is people trying to explain their hatred. Please take a few spare minutes and visit this thread. I'll look more into your post here. I'll be back later.
One other thing... did this actually happen? I find it hard to believe that I have not heard a thing about this incident over my local area's news/ channels. As I live near one of the largest media outlets on planet Earth (the Chicagoland area), we must first make sure that this is not some ratings hoax. I noticed that the author of your article does say that he has not seen the clip nor heard the statement himself. But he says that "This much is true.."
