LA Times’ Granderson: ‘The Masters’ Golf Tournament Refers to Slave Owners

BERMAN: "L.Z.?"
GRANDERSON: "Yes, we can learn from it, but we don’t have to continue to celebrate those same figures at the same time. You’re absolutely correct. History is filled with men and women who have helped society become better culturally who happened to have racist views or have done racist things. We celebrated Tiger Woods recently returning back to glory winning at the Masters. We didn’t spend very much time asking ourselves, why was this tournament called the Masters in Augusta, Georgia, founded by two men that we know, in fact, were racist, who were recorded saying racist things. Ever wonder why it was called the Masters? I mean, we have to find a way to find a proper balance, but that doesn’t mean we have to celebrate our past mistakes."
