Deplorable: Racist Ref Forces HS wrestler To Cut Off Dreadlocks Before Match
Racist Ref Forces Andrew Johnson To Cut His Hair
The deplorable, discriminatory actions of a high school wrestling referee are going viral. People nationwide are outraged over a video of wrestler Andrew Johnson having his hair cut before a match after Ref Alan Maloney, demanded that he cut it or forfeit a match.
The video was posted to Twitter by Mike Frankel of SNJ Today News who called Andrew a “team player” for being humiliated.
Epitome of a team player
A referee wouldn't allow Andrew Johnson of Buena @brhschiefs to wrestle with a cover over his dreadlocks. It was either an impromptu haircut, or a forfeit. Johnson chose the haircut, then won by sudden victory in OT to help spark Buena to a win. pic.twitter.com/f6JidKNKoI

Mind you in wrestling, wrestlers with long hair can simply compete with a wrap over their head—so why couldn’t Andrew???
NewJersey.com reports that Ref Maloney used a racial slur at a social gathering of officials in March 2016. The simple soup cookie apparently got into an arguiment over homemade wine at a social gathering and got slammed to the ground by a black official after he dropped the slur—surely you can guess which one.
Maloney later told Jersey’s Courier-Post that he did not remember making the remark but accepted eyewitness accounts that he did.
“You know, people do make mistakes and I apologized,” Maloney told the Courier-Post. “I really don’t think this should go any further than it’s gone anyhow. … The remark was not made to him. After he told me what I said, it was pertaining to us breaking each other’s stones. … I didn’t remember it. I was told it. I believed it and said, ‘Yo, that ain’t me.’ That’s when I called him right away and that’s when he told me we were good.
“Yo…that….ain’t….me.”
Get this guy the f*** outta here!
What do YOU think should happen to this clotted cream curmudgeon clearly discriminating against Andrew Johnson???
