Mike Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 You know the Rangers are down 3-0 if this didn't find it's way onto the forum today. http://espn.go.com/golf/story/_/id/9299934/sergio-garcia-makes-fried-chicken-remark-tiger-woods Garcia, who later issued an apology, took issue with Woods for what he viewed as a breach of golf course etiquette during the third round of The Players Championship two weeks ago, was asked in jest at a European Tour function if he would be inviting Woods to dinner during next month's U.S. Open. "We'll have him 'round every night,'' Garcia said, according to multiple media reports. "We will serve fried chicken.'' How fuckin dumb can you be? Who thinks this is worse than Tiger's love affairs? Should Sergio lose his sponsorships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 It's pretty bad, but not as bad as the journalist who made a lynching joke around Tiger a few years back. It's up to the sponsors, but if Tiger lost his, than yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 There's a lot of taylormade themed jokes being made on my golfing forum about that shit too. I wouldn't be surprised if they keep him, but some of his other non-equipment sponsors drop him. Sergio has a lot of love on the European tour, but this will definitely be a blow for him. Guy really need to grow up and just accept things. This is why he was awful for two straight years, couldn't get over a failed relationship.

quick release Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Stupid thing to say for sure. But in the end, is it really racist? He's Spanish right? What if it were the other way around and Tiger were to say, "we'll have him around every night. We'll serve paella" I like meatballs. Spanish people like paella. Black people like fried chicken. Who gives a shit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I laughed. He's Spanish, that's pretty good for a Spaniard, they and the Italians are still lagging a bit in the racial acceptance/equity thing for European standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It would be racist. The whole world knows they hate each other. This wasn't a playful comment. This is key.

I am Scags Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 What a dummy, really. I've been on this guys side since day 1 to finally get that one major win. Screw that. And not that I really care or that that I thought it was all that bade because at the end of the day its just a foolish comment. But to be so dumb and so out of touch. Best part of this all, Tiger did NOT eccept his apology!! lol Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindG1000 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Since I follow golf about as much as I care about it (zero), I had no clue who Sergio Garcia was, and I legit thought this was about a guy making racial slurs at a cat.

NYRangers92 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 European Tour CEO does Sergio no favors "We know the connotation in the United States. We accept all races on the European Tour, we take it very strongly. Most of Sergio's friends are coloured athletes in the United States and he is absolutely abject in his apology and we accepted it."
