Your Dropped If You Don’t Like It Sue Me
Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew, has been booted off the Duke University golf team and is suing to get back on. The 22 year old claims Duke’s new golf coach trumped up a series of allegations to force him out and turn his classmates against him.
He lad was recruited to Duke by former coach Rod Myers, who died last year. University of California’s Daniel “O.D.” Vincent III was brought in to replace Myers, and Giuliani reckons he was on a mission to shrink the size of the team.
They claim Vincent suspended the Andy for a series of minor or fabricated infractions like driving too fast out of a parking lot, breaking a driving wood and getting into a confrontation with a teammate. Then the coach allegedly told Giuliani the suspension would be lifted only if all 12 of his teammates lobbied for him - a scheme the suit likened to “Lord of the Flies.”
This is what the parties are saying in their ‘he say she say battle’
* On Feb. 2 Giuliani flipped his putter a few feet to his golf bag.
* On Feb. 3, Giuliani leaned over his driver and it broke, and “in O.D. Vincent’s telling, this became ‘throwing and breaking’ a club.”
* On Feb. 3, Giuliani walked ahead of his playing partner at Treyburn Golf Course and later that day “gunned the engine” of his car and “drove fast while leaving the golf course parking lot.”
* On Feb. 4, during a golf-team football game, “Andrew played harder than some of the other boys wanted to play.”
*On Feb. 10, while Giuliani was eating an apple, a teammate twice hit the golfer’s hand and knocked the fruit to the ground. After that same teammate “slammed a door hitting Andrew’s face,” Giuliani “tossed the apple at a teammate, glancing off the side of his face.”
It all seems a bit silly to us but we don’t want to say too much on it in case we get dragged into court aswell.
