Jim Brown can be an idiot at times. She made a dumb remark and apologized. If Tiger should speak out, maybe it should be about more important things. Great points guys.

That should be end of story. She didn't say all black people should be lynched and she apologized to everyone who was offended. Move on. Oh wait...if we just moved on, you, Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson wouldn't be relevant any longer.

She probably meant that Tiger is so good that the only thing his opponents can do is get him in a back alley and beat him up, but she used a pretty harsh word to describe that processs which has brought about all this criticism. I seriously doubt she's a racist, so unless she makes the mistake repeatedly, I don't think there's much of a story here.
