“We knew that image would grab attention, but I didn’t anticipate the enormity of it,” Dave Seanor, vice president and editor of the weekly magazine, said from the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Fla. “There’s been a huge, negative reaction,” he said. “I’ve gotten so many e-mails. It’s a little overwhelming.”
I read the article and it seems to me the golf folks don’t won’t to face reality.
They get it. They just don’t give a fuck about US.
Trudat lovebabz!
They get it. They want to believe white supremacy is only for the few backwoods places like the Jena Louisiana.
This is so offensive!!!!!!!
They just fired the editor who approved this
Whoops…check the wording on this:
“Golfweek magazine replaced the editor responsible for illustrating the current cover with a noose and apologized Friday for its depiction of a Golf Channel anchor’s use of “lynch” in a comment about Tiger Woods.
Golfweek cover
Golf Weekly
Golfweek’s controversial cover for its Jan. 19 issue. The magazine has removed it from its Web site.
“We apologize for creating this graphic cover that received extreme negative reaction from consumers, subscribers and advertisers across the country,” Turnstile Publishing Co. president William P. Kupper Jr. said. “We were trying to convey the controversial issues with a strong and provocative graphic image. It is now obvious that the overall reaction to our cover deeply offended many people. For that, we are deeply apologetic.”
Turnstile is the parent company of Golfweek.
The company said Dave Seanor, the vice president and editor of Golfweek, has been replaced immediately by Jeff Babineau.”
Not clear if he was fired or just “replaced.”
Once the “advertisers” conveyed “extreme negative reaction”… the writing was on the wall for Davey-boy!
Money SCREAMS! Advertisers do not like to have their products linked to a whole lot of controversy. This is not the economic climate to have anybody boycotting shopping and spending.
I find many whites still live in a bubble ; they really believe many blacks don’t read magazines and don’t watch the news. The stupid talk about “lynching Tiger Woods” and the magazine with a “noose” on the cover were really only gearead for a white clientele.They need to wake up, their worldview of black people is an erroneous one.
Saludos.
WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY! I thought we have been over this. At first I thought the cover was a fake…but people still seriously think this ok. And i hate the fact the the mag spokesperson pretended to be unaware of the consequences. White American, just stop. Just stop.
