But The Editor From The Magazine Should Have Been Fired

Everyone knows why Tiger Woods


isn't mad at the Golf Channel's Kelly Tilghman


for making a lynching joke on air with supreme D Nick Faldo.


It's because although he is now married to the hottest nanny ever to walk the face of the earth


he used to not be. And you know one day he was tooling around the clubhouse at Augusta trying not to be forced back into the Kitchen, when in walks Kelly. And Kelly is no slouch herself. One thing led to another and Tiger crushed her on a pile of green jackets eventually leaving a present on the left lapel for Phil Mickelson.
(MS Paint is wonderfully simple)

See, Tiger knows about racism. He works in the most racist environment in the world, Golf. And he's the undisputed best player today, if not ever. He's the Jackie Robinson of Golf (No, he's really not, but it's just great when white middle class folks make comparisons to Jackie Robinson). Robinson is Robinson and comparisons fall flat almost every time. One way he is like Robinson is his reluctance to take sides on issues. Robinson took flack from Civil Rights activists for not speaking out more. And sometimes Tiger takes flack also. The good thing about America is it's his right to sit back, play a game, and collect hundreds of millions of dollars a year while saying absolutely nothing about anything.

Tiger and Kelly have been friends for a long time and he has said that although of course he doesn't approve of her comment, he knows her, and knows she meant nothing harmful by it. Tiger knows that Kelly Tilghman doesn't see black or white or yellow or brown: She only sees dick. She's a true humanist.
