Today Golfweek vice president and editor Dave Seanor was replaced after his controversial decision to run an attention-grabbing cover that was to be released tomorrow.
The image of a noose along with the headline "Caught in a Noose" were in reference to a Golf Channel commentator who was suspended after a poor choice of words suggesting, in jest, that Tiger Woods' opponents "lynch him in a back alley."
Despite achieving the goal of grabbing attention, this cover was created in poor taste if the history of lynching in this country and the highly offensive nature of this incident is not the subject of the main piece, and that piece doesn't belong in Golfweek.
