CBS, caught in a bunker so deep it saw no other way out, suspended golf commentator Ben Wright indefinitely Tuesday.
CBS was careful to say that Wright wasn’t fired. In fact, the four-year contract extension Wright signed in November will be honored. But, according to David Kenin, CBS Sports president, Wright will not be commenting on golf in the foreseeable future.
The controversy surrounding Wright, an Englishman who is generally well liked in golf circles, began in May after he did an interview with Valerie Helmbreck of the News Journal of Wilmington, Del.
Wright, 63, a golf analyst with CBS since 1972, was quoted by Helmbreck as saying “lesbians in the sport hurt women’s golf.”
Helmbreck also quoted him as saying women golfers “are handicapped by having boobs.”
After Helmbreck’s story came out, Wright claimed he had been misquoted, and CBS backed him.
But in the Golf Plus edition of the Dec. 4 Sports Illustrated, a story by Michael Bamberger offered evidence that Wright had lied about being misquoted. The story also attacked CBS for backing Wright.
As always, fuck the media
