Anchor gets suspended for 'racist' Woods comment

Read the story here.

So apparently the Golf channel's first female anchor suggested that the only way the competition could beat Woods was to lynch him in a back alley.

While Tiger Woods didn't care, more or less laughed it off, as said anchor is one of his good friends, the station itself suspended her for two weeks due to inappropriate comments.

Good old Al Sharpton, on the other hand, is calling for her immediate firing as she was being insulting to blacks everywhere. Now, when I look up lynching in wikipedia, there is a lot connecting it to discrimination, but is it a solely racist comment?

I don't really know one way or the other, so everybody else can speak voice their thoughts. I just know this is oddly reminiscent of Don Imus' deal.
