A few months ago, while broadcasting a PGA tour event, Kelly Tilghman, the Golf Channel’s main play-by-play anchor commented nonchalantly to co-anchor Nick Faldo when discussing Tiger Woods’ dominance on the Professional Golf Tour that his competitors should “lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley.” Tilghman stated on live television that today’s young players should “lynch Tiger Woods.”!?! Of course the media took this and ran. Every sports outlet in the world was all over this. It was a stupid comment, but did it deserve the media attention it got? Should it have been blown up like it has been? Then came this cover… Now not only sports outlets are involved, but every news outlet is covering this story. Did the media make too much of this situation or are they doing good by bring it to the forefront of the news?
