*** EDITED by Mod 7/8/15***Unfortunately, the Yahoo article quoted here was written by someone who
mistook Lisa Kennedy's voice off-camera for Jenna Lee's, possibly because
Jenna appears in the clip conversing with Harris Faulkner just before Kennedy
blurted out her remark.
chris, it's not your fault -- but we've corrected your thread title so that we
also are not falsely accusing Jenna of something she didn't do. https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/wo ... w--;_ylv=3Almost everyone was full of sympathy for golf's world number one after his ankle injury. Almost everyone, but not quite.
On Monday Rory McIlroy shocked the world as he shared the news that he has completely ruptured his left ankle while having a football kickabout.
For now, we'll leave aside the rights and wrongs of whether the world's best golfer ought to be playing a contact sport 10 days before defending his title at the biggest tournament of the year. We've talked about that elsewhere.
We'll also not worry too much right here about how long his recovery will take. While he's yet to officially withdraw from The Open, Dr Alan Shearer shared with the world his view that McIlroy "will be out for months rather than weeks" given the severity of the injury.
Instead, we'll focus on the reaction of a newsreader for Fox in the USA, whose reaction to the McIlroy injury was not exactly sympathetic.

No, your ears did not deceive you. That noise you just heard really was the sound of a professional news broadcaster - 35-year-old Jenna Lee - saying of a professional athlete "he's a leprechaun, I can't stand him".
Just to prove it really happened:
