Thank you, I plan on sending them a letter and let them know what I think of their decision. I don't think she had any thoughts of making a racial comment at all.
The golf channel over reacted on this in my opinion and they should retract it and apologize to her.
"Sort of" is such a harmless thing to say. "Sort of". It's just a filler. "Sort of" - It doesn't really mean anything. But after certain things, "sort of" means everything. Like after "I love you" or "You're going to live" or "It's a boy".
