Here is the MSN headline, and the egregious, offensive act of racism is shown in the photo beneath the headline:

Trigger warning: RACISM!!! on display.

Gary Player’s son showed a lack of respect to Lee Elder and highlighted how far golf still has to go





Do you see the racism? Are you literally shaking with rage? No? Well here, let Kevin Garside, the writer of the MSN article explain it to you.

quote:

And if respect is at the heart of the issue, Gary Player’s son Wayne might want to ask himself if the positioning of a sleeve of balls to offer maximum exposure to the manufacturer, was the most appropriate use of the stage, stood as he was adjacent to the historic figure eulogised by the chairman.

It was a cheap move. A little sleazy sure but it’s a stretch to tie that to his dad and racism.

Caddies wearing all white overalls is racist as frick.

Golf balls being white is a symbol of white supremacy.

Dude, that is nothing. Yahoo Sports has the craziest wokest chick ever, Shalize Manza Young, and this was the clickable headline to her article in the middle of their main page. "How dare this clown infringe on Elder's moment? Lee Elder deserved to soak in his moment in the sun at Augusta National on Thursday without photos and video of Gary Player's ball-hawking son to sully it."

Can’t wait till the PGA becomes like the NBA with rap music blaring in the background and twerking on the greens.

Gary Player's African American heritage doesn't deserve a pass?

Literally nobody would've noticed or cared about the balls if not for the douche bag pointing them out. I have a feeling he has excellent ball radar though.

Holy overreaction Batman!!!

Was GP's holding the golf balls purposefully in a way to display them to the camera? Maybe, but if you watch the video until Nicklaus tees off, Wayne's holding them awkwardly the whole time.

I can guarantee you nobody there gave a damn about that sleeve of golf balls or even knew it existed.

Outrage disorder.

Is it really? Especially when the white ball is being hit with a stick.

I can’t ignore the fact that he is wearing an all white outfit, reminiscent of the Klansman of old.

The truth and facts are irrelevant.

Only the narrative matters.
