Does that make any of what he said any less true/valid, or are you just saying that because you think someone cares?

Yes. Sure. Because he is from SA and came to fame when they were a racist country makes him a POS. what an incredibly uneducated narrow minded opinion. May want to do some research before you label him as racist.

You mean Mr. Apartheid. Player is a holier than thou POS.
quote:
Rabbit’s career as Gary Player’s caddy allowed him to travel the country and the world. Although racial tensions had cooled in the States, Rabbit faced adversity abroad. Rabbit was the first African American caddy in both the South African Open and British Open during the early 1970’s. One of his first trips abroad was to Gary Player’s home country of South Africa in 1974, during the height of the country’s apartheid. There was much opposition to his presence at both tournaments, but Gary Player stood by his side. “Gary Player was a sportsman and he figured that everybody should play sports together. Gary used his position to help promote desegregation in South Africa. In that respect he was a pioneer.” Despite the adversity Rabbit faced in his caddy career, it also provided him with great joy, unforgettable experiences and the ability to provide for his family. His first accomplishment was buying a house for his mother, and later in his career he was able to put his son through college at Princeton University. “If it wasn’t for Gary Player I wouldn’t have gotten to do all that.”
Yep, terrible person.
