Apparently, some female anchor from the Golf network said that there is a lot of youth in the PGA, and that that youth should "lynch" Tiger Woods. I know that may not sound derogitory elsewhere, but at least in the U.S., it entails very strong racial connotations. What do you guys think? BTW, she got suspended for 2 weeks, so it was a basic slap on the wrist.

A Pint the difference.

Either way her wording was poor and probably got suspended for stupidity than anything.
