Controversial Golfweek Editor Fired

The picture you see above is the cover of Golfweek, which shows a noose set against a purple sky. The cover was in response to the Kelly Tighman scandal.

The editor responsible for the cover, Dave Seanor, has just been fired. Seanor was the vice president and editor of the publication before his termination.

In the hours before his firing, Seanor faced massive criticism. He was harshly criticized by PGA head Tim Finchem, who called the cover something that “smacks of tabloid journalism” and “a naked attempt to inflame and keep alive an incident that was heading to an appropriate conclusion.”
