Tiger didn't have a problem with it....

This is what Golfweek Magazine did...

What bothers me about this whole thing is not the comments, or the imagery (which I feel are tastless and ignorant beyond words) but the fact that these people responsible these atrocities are apologetic AFTER everyone makes such a big deal about it. For example, when Imus said his infamous statement, Clear Channel, Imus, and the rest of the people responsible were apoligizing over the reaction...as if to say 'Im sorry you are upset oevr what I said'. Of course Tiger accepted the womans apoligy, saying they were friends before the incident, so no support there. Suspending, or even firing her doesn't make her any less racist, or it doesn't make the problem go away, Its a sad realization that people, and feelings like these are alive and well in this country.
So Golfweek fires the editor responsible for this decision for the cover, and honestly I could care less. Firing people responsible for this is only sweeping the problem under the rug, just like the Imus situation, and it won't prevent the problem from happening again.
