I dont believe Sergio Garcia is a racist. But what he said Tuesday night at a European Tour dinner cannot be seen as anything but racist. Maybe it was a mistake, a slip of the tongue or a brain cramp. No matter how it came out, or why, it will stain El Nino forever. You just dont get past remarks like that. At first, the back and forth between Tiger Woods and Garcia was refreshing in the way sports spats can be. They took shots at each other, called each other out, traded barbs and employed gamesmanship during their battle at the Players Championship. In a sport where most of the bad blood is kept under wraps, this was as close as it gets to trash talk. In a game where grown men in slacks take off their hats and shake hands at the end of a round, it was novel and - dare I say - even good for the game. But on Tuesday, Sergio crossed the line. And he knew it as soon as the words came out of his mouth. He has already done all he can for damage control. Give him credit for not pulling out of the European Tour stop this week. Give him credit for meeting the media and issuing a flood of apologies. Give him credit for reaching out to Tiger to say hes sorry. And give Tiger credit for accepting the apology and moving on. But unlike his spitting in the cup, his blaming the golfing gods for losing tournaments or his non-stop waggling, this one isnt going to go away any time soon. At the 1997 Masters Fuzzy Zoeller made some racist remarks about Tiger that shocked anyone who heard them. The fallout was swift and enduring - Zoeller lost all his sponsors, lost his invitations to Skins games and essentially lost his game. Sergio probably wont suffer the same fate but make no mistake, this stain, like red wine on a white couch, is indelible. Hell wear it for the rest of his career.Danny Fortson Jersey .
