Tiger stated today that the issue is resolved and there's no ill will.

However, there are those in the black community and some black sports columnists that want Tiger to take a stand against this.

Tiger is so revered in the black community despite not considering himself "black" (Cablinasian) that civil rights activists are wanting someone of Tiger's stature to make a big deal about the lynch comment as a step forward in the civil rights movement. I wouldnt be surprised if after several years and a few more incidents like this one (or the comments made by Fuzzy Zoeller in 1997) that Tiger Woods starts to become considered a "sellout" for not acting like Al Sharpton and tearing into people who make unfortunate comments like Kelly Tilghman did.
