In spite of ESPN’s attempt at tabloidism, the people are speaking LOUD & CLEAR. The Golf Channel really needs to do the right thing and clear this up ASAP.
It’s unfortunate that Kelly used those terms during the conversation with Faldo about the youth coming up to take on Tiger….Kelly acts professionally on the telecasts, but I put some of the blame on Faldo himself…he has made what some may consider ” sexist” comments sometimes towards her…and she has looked uncomfortable at times. I believe that Faldo is not a very good anchor…sure he does Ok on the national network telecasts, but he is more of a color commentary on that show….he doesn’t have to carry the broadcast. I say replace Faldo with Vince Cellini, and give Kelly another chance.
Jim Brown is for wrong for criticizing Tiger Woods. You have to wonder if Jim understands the difference between a person like Kelly Tilghman, who stupidly mispoke(who hasn’nt) and cases like Michael Richards, Don Imus, and Senator George “Macaca” Allen that seem to reflect some deeper feelings or racism. If he does not separate the two then it is just a new form of McCarthyism!
