Golf Presenter Suspended for Using "Racist Term"..
So it's not only in cricket
Bit of a stupid thing to say, but whaddau all think?
BTW I can't stand the Daily Mail, but I look at it online for a shocking laugh at the "real middle England" Actually it makes me despondant.

I think she's fit and should come my way for some rehabilitation. I'd bang that racism out of her.

Suggesting that doing something to prevent a player from taking the field is the only way to stop him from winning is an oft repeated joke. A bit blood-thirsty, perhaps, but WTF does it have to do with race?

Lynching is very much associated with the Klan in the southern US states . . .

Yeah, was possibly just a poor choice of murder. She could've said anything from "F*ck his face til he dies" to "Feed him to sharks", but she chose the most common form of racial killings in a place stil blighted with slack jawed racial discriminators.

But I always associate the wild west with lynching.
Hopefully she doesn't lose her job.Suspend her until the fuss dies down,and let her apologise,or does anybody believe that was a racist comment about Tiger?It sounded like a compliment to me.

Hanging was a regular 'sport' at Tyburn for several hundred years.
So, does a black fan screaming "String the bastard/f**ker/a***hole up" at a white West Ham (3 miles from Tyburn) forward who misses an open goal, constitute a charge of racial hostility?
Of course he bloody doesn't!!
Just a thought
The point being - if racial hostility was not and never was intended in the first place, WhyTF pander to pseudo PC merchants who seek to impose their blind arrogance on the masses with their myopic take on what is or should be deemed "correct" in this world.
Again - FFS.

I feel sorry for that poor thing, she didn't have any ill-intentions behind it. I'm sure
Re: Golf Presenter Suspended for Using "Racist Term"..
Hmmmmm, I predicted someone would come up with the "fit" comment and I thought the most likely suspect would be Batty-Boy; funny that. And it was the first response, didn't predict that.Batfink Begins wrote:I think she's fit and should come my way for some rehabilitation. I'd bang that racism out of her.

No probably not, but who knows until it's tried.
Re: Golf Presenter Suspended for Using "Racist Term"..
Jesus, anyone can see what she meant by what she said.
All she has to do is make a statement saying it was an unfortunate phrase to have used given the history but it was not said with that intention and apologise if anyone was offended by it.
PC types tend to love the drama though

Head our department (a director) walked in to the finance office and said "Morning everyone". A collegue of mine has stuttering and couldn't complete the sentence. The director took the micky out of him by mimicking him in front of around 10 shocked people and walked out asif nothing happened!
