“He’s sitting there talking and we’re just kind of chit-chatting and all the sudden he goes, ‘All right, Stephen, I’m going to say something right now and this may offend some people.'”
“My brother’s old teammate was the only black guy in the room,” Garcia continued. “So I’m like, ‘What the hell is this guy about to say?’ And he’s like, ‘Yeah, Stephen, this is going to be offensive to some people.’ And I was like, ‘Oh God.’ I thought he was about to say some racial stuff or something.”
“He kind of just looks at me and he goes, ‘You’ve got to stop being such a f****** p**** and just commit to Florida,'” Garcia said, still seemingly in disbelief at the exchange.
“I kind of looked at him and everybody just kind of looked at me with their jaws on the floor, like, ‘what are you going to do?’ or ‘What are you going to say?'” he said. “I just looked at Urban dead in the eye and I was like, ‘Excuse me, what? What the hell are you… is that… what? What’s going on, man? I’m not coming here, are you sh****** me?'”
