Stop The Madness: Golfweek Featured A Noose On Their Online Cover
“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.”
The Vice President & Editor of this magazine were appropriately fired. How can you ever justify a noose on the cover of a golf magazine? Clearly the editor was trying to capitalize on the controversy and thought this shocking cover would equal great sales.
Props to Young Trump

Apparently ethics no longer apply in publishing.
They got just what the fuck they wanted….Attention/publicity.
Punk ass bitches.
The man said he aint black yet they try to take a stab at black people using him.
Wicked faggot ass devils.
I already apologize if my thoughts seems wrong, but what is the big deal? Ok, it symbolizes something offensive but it also symbolizes something other. People got hung way back ago and i dont see the matter to be sensitive. Stop hating, stop giving attention to this kind of stuff. Do your own thing make! Make money, build your relationships with loved ones.Make yourself happy. This stuff is gonna just keep on continuing if people always give notice to it! Let it die out.
I think thats what Nas is doing with his Nigger album. Making the word so regular people dont use it anymore, because its not insulting(?). This might be my own opinion and i know that it still stings a little, but dont let words get to you because THEY ARE JUST WORDS! People talk smack, all you need to know is that they are wrong and they dont know you, and the people you care about know this too!
FUCK EVERYBODY ELSE!
-Peace
He didn’t say he was not black. He said he was Cablinasian. I believe the ‘bl’ part refers to black. Regardless he’s of mixed race and he should be allowed to celebrate his Asian side as well.
YO!
white America is funny like that..
they allways pull that “Ups was that racist?” card out there ass!!
fuck Kelly Tilghman, that bitch knew what she was saying!!
looking at that noose freaks me out, there was a time that if you were black in the south, a bunch of white men would see u, grab you and put that around your neck and hang you, not to mention lynch u…
ive never heard of blacks doing that shit to any other race. white people r wicked wicked people, if they had there way shot would be allot worst. Dont let them get away with this shit, black people aint forgot that shit that yall parents did.
Tiger Woods never wanted to be looked at as a black athlete but u know “the mans” had to find a way of letting him know he is.
da words ethics and publishing are not connected in any way….tiger woods is black he half asian but he resemble most of da people in da west indies than thailand or singapore…as for da cover u can’t blame the devil for bein wicked….
They would’ve never put a swastika on the cover of a magazine.
no8 ur damn rite dey would’nt cos da ADL [anti defamation league- organisation dat fights anti-semitisim] would be on dem hard but den again dey probably own da publishing companie…ohh and we know da real semites come from AFRICA…so whos da true JEW
if u gotta problem wit shit like this then stand up, get a fuckin job and become a positive role model for your youth.
we dont respect ourselves so how the fuck can we expect anyone else to have respect for us. thats like a prostitute asking me to take her out for dinner. she doesnt respect herself so i dont have any respect for her.
white peoples window to black life shows them that we dont care or respect ourselves. so i’m not surprised in the least bit
smh ii seen dis on sports center
Fuckin, get over it….what the fuck is the big deal?!?! You can’t show this, but you can have 100s of magazines with guns on the covers?!?! Mags that all they talk about is guns!!!! Do you see how what you are complaining about makes no sense?!?!?!
What’s wrong with everybody?! If we keep getting offended at every fuckin thing, we’re going to end up being the most sensitive people on the earth. Such hypocrits….You can’t say this, you can’t show that, don’t offend anyone, but at the same time the US is the most racist country in the world….
#10 got a point
#12 that’s beside the point, but I get it..
DaM #11 thats real tlk
She went to school right. Does she know thats a very racist comment at the time. She is very ignorant, but thats not all ppl.
So ima just keep doing wat #11 suggested cause this bull shit will always be around. Like wat the hell did he say to her. WOW.
This probably why other countrys really i mean really hate “American’s”. We think were so much better than every body else and the U.S. trys to help other country’s because we dont have any problems. When in reality we got idiot pickin on the ppl to make them look superior.
The man is a great person, okay so hes doin better than you an most of the ppl there why do you have to put him down?
