Totally UNBELIEVABLE.

This guy was barred from officiating for one year after he used the n word against a blk coach. But it was overturned. The same will happen this time too

Should never referee again!

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. .UNBELIEVABLE

What with the wacked out white women cutting everyone’s hair? Last one was a deranged liberal, wonder what this ones problem is.

If this kid had a cap on, the ref shouldn’t have done what he did. If his hair was loose, the ref should have told him to borrow a cap. Only if there wasn’t a single cap in the entire building, then give him the horrible choice.

OMG I had to cut my hair in the 70s when I was on the wrestling team. Red hair discrimination!!! (hair length was part of the rules)

'The wrestler was told his hair and headgear did not comply with regulation.' He had a choice - play or keep your hair. He made it. What's the issue?

How did the ref force him to cut his hair and how short was his hair cut and by whom

I saw someone say earlier that the coach should have pulled his team off the mats. I don’t disagree. This is absurd.

The referee, identified as Alan Maloney in this article link, reportedly has a history of racist behavior.

Good thing we don't see this playing out in other places. QuestionAuthority, always. Or it becomes tyranny... media will report this ref was all Russia's fault

TechMk_RGM Will he be accepting a position in realDonaldTrump administration or as a FoxNews correspondent immediately?

BOY AGREED WITH RULEBOOK requirement, could have forfeited his match/hair net

should be barred for life.

Hahahahaha! Now that is PC funny.

What do the rules say? Is it like football where u can have them but they can be pulled? I'm glad he cut them for the team. Dreadlocks grow back.

Do any of you haters even know the rules that apply to these matches and the grooming requirements? Resorting directly to name calling and lynching of the referee is exactly what is wrong with this country. Know all of the facts before spewing hate.

He should be fired. I hope his parents sue!!

He forced? I think there needs to be further investigation. Why didnt his coach, trainer or anyone give the kid a hair covering? Or did the kid just choose to have his hair cut off? I’m wondering if this is the full story.

If you don't want to play by the rules then don't participate.

I want to know how many other kids' hair he had a problem with.

The 90’s called, they wanted their hair back. Womp womp

The wrestler deserves a public apology that makes clear just how f-ing racist that was.

Good! This needs to investigated!

useless white bitch

Wrong on so many, lvls. 😡😡😡😠😠😠

Where were all the adults who let it happen?

There are cops, teachers, politicians, judges, and government officials just like that referee!

Sounds like this should have been done a long time ago!

This is child abuse

Good

Bigoted referee

Shameful!!!

But he needs to be criminal charged as well. Hopefully the student obtains a lawyer & proceeds with a Human Rights Complaint. This is extremely disgusting.

All well and good but the student is scarred for life. He not only was made to feel less than by a referee but his teammates and coach too. If I was his coach I would have told him absolutely NOT!

Barred forever.

There should be a criminal investigation. That young man's Civil Rights were violated. That is against the law.

The referee, the coaches and any adult who allowed this to happen should be fired

New Jersey school district holds emergency meeting after black wrestler was forced to cut his dreadlocksAfter a referee forced a black varsity wrestler to cut his dreadlocks, a New Jersey school district decided it will not send its sports teams to any events where that referee is officiating. What does a white woman with scissors have to do with dreads? Not a dam thing!! Why is this person still permitted to referee? That should be the question. It was the rules. Only reason this is a story is because he is black. Thanks for dividing America
