Dana Jacobson Vs. Kelly Tilghman: Who's Worse?

Dana Jacobson vs. Kelly Tilghman - According to several media outlets ESPN personality Dana Jacobson, host of ESPN's First Take, is in some hot water after comments she made at a roast recently. Jacobson said some comments that were not to friendly about Notre Dame football, with head coach Charlie Weis in attendance, and more importantly some bad comments about Jesus, another person many might argue was in attendance as well. According to deadspin.com, this is what she had to say:

"F...Notre Dame,

F...Touchdown Jesus,

F...Jesus."

Believe me folks she wasn't even nice enough to just say "F," she said the whole word, but this is a family friendly article and you will just have to use your imaginations.

In the wake of these comments coming to light, ESPN has suspended Jacobson for one-week.

This leads many people to think of the wonderful example Kelly Tilghman set on the Golf Channel. Tilghman said that other players should "take (Tiger Woods) out in an alley and lynch him," when her and her co-host were talking about other golfers ganging up on Tiger Woods because he is too good.

Many will now wonder which comments would be worse. I think that this is no contest. No matter what either on said, Kelly Tilghman said what she had to say on live television. There is absolutely no excuse for that. At least Dana Jacobson had had too much to drink, Tilghman should have been in the right frame of mind.

Also, Jacobson might not have realized that video of her would hit the internet and this would be a big story (although that's hard to believe, we've all seen the Tom Cruise video). After all this was supposed to be a private event. Saying her comments on live television makes Kelly Tilghman a worse offender than Jacobson in my mind.

Now to what they said. At least Kelly Tilghman offended people who are on the earth as we speak. Sure, Dana Jacobson probably offended Christians and, of course, Notre Dame fans, but making a comment about lynching an African-American man is much more of an offense. If Dana Jacobson's comments were really that offensive to the person they were about, she will pay in the end.
