    Golfweek editor surprised by 'enormity' of reaction to noose

    The editor of Golfweek magazine said he was overwhelmed by negative reaction to the photo of a noose on the cover of this week's issue, illustrating a story about the suspension of a Golf Channel anchor for using the word "lynch" in an on-air discussion about how to beat Tiger Woods.

    Absolutely ridiculous. A slip of the tongue is one thing. But to actively stir the pot like this is crazy.

    Now I am really ** off at that. I hadn't seen that cover until just now. I can assure you that while Golf week was on my list of reading, it is not, nor ever will be from this moment forward. That is disgusting.
