blobloblob Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 From Sky Sports: Contrite Sergio Garcia keen to apologise to Tiger 'face-to-face' Would you want an apology from Sergio Garcia or Tiger Woods or any other golfer if they referred to you eating fish and chips? If you don't consider yourself "British", substitute fish and chips for something more appropriate. Personally, I'm not that bothered really.

SHERWICK Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It was ******ing stupid, especially as he knew that fried chicken was already such a litmus paper for Tiger, thanks to Fuzzy Zoeller. Ps - what Zoeller said was atrocious and much worse. Totally agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashinmattress Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Garcia is just envious of all the poontang that Tiger pulls... that and his golfing skills too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Miyagi Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 No worse than a Frenchman saying they would serve roast beef every night to an Englishman. Totally blown out of proportion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo woods is making himself look like a total dick by even being bothered by this. I have lived and worked in the US - and the whole fried chicken generalization is pretty accurate to be fair. I remember queueing up for fried chicken a few times and i rather stood out compared to everyone else in the place For what Garcia said to be an issue ? It would have to be known that there was some nasty racism behind it. Maybe there was - but as that is impossible to know for sure - Woods should have just ignored it. Instead he has just re-iterated what most already know. He , along with Garcia, are both tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissy_fit Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 He may be a tool, but I still envy him Lindsey Vonn. Not all the other silly tarts, don't care about them, any rich man could have them, just her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccc Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Its gone beyond silly. Ffs English isn't even the first language of these two !! Now its probably likely that Garcia knew what he was saying - but it was a cheeky remark at someone he was having a handbags at dawn with. Total non story. As for the other bloke ****** sake he just chose the 'wrong' word. He shouldn't have apologised imo. Looks like he has done something wrong. Which it doesn't look like at all.

ccc Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Most people are racist to some degree. And its not always bad. For example if i heard that the new bloke at my work was Japanese ? I would assume he was going to be a nice pleasant polite chap. That's clearly 'racist' as i would be judging him before i had even met him due to his race. Racism is not as black and white as people think. Pardon the pun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again that's not a crime and his foe in this whole affair is clearly a dick as well. We should just leave them to get on with it. One dick vs another. Like a good old fashioned gay porno .
