Athens, GA (Jan 17, 2008) - In the realm of corporate responsibility, I do not even know where to begin on this one. The cover at left is the cover that Golfweek Magazine chose to go with this week, as part of their coverage of the unfortunate lynching comment by Kelly Tilghman. The use of this cover has no purpose but to generate controversy and boost visibility/circulation.

As I often say in presentations to corporate groups: just because you can does not mean you should. This cover should be more offensive to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson than the goof (bad as it was) by Tilghman.
