Rudy Giuliani's Son Sues Duke Over Golf Dismissal

[RamboLiberal]

Source: ABC News

The son of former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is suing Duke University, claiming he was wrongfully kicked off the golf team.

Andrew Giuliani claims he was dismissed without cause from the golf team earlier this year because coach O.D. Vincent III wanted to cut the team of 13 players by about half. The lawsuit claims the coach has interferred with Giuliani's efforts toward becoming a professional golfer.

Duke University spokesman Keith Lawrence said Thursday the university was discussing the lawsuit but didn't have an immediate comment.

The 198-page lawsuit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court by Durham attorney Robert Ekstrand. Ekstrand did not immediately return a message for comment.

1. Oh boy Rudy going to throw his weight around...oh yeah that's right

Rudy is such a prick that his own children won't talk to him

2. Rudy the campaigner was outspokenly against frivolous lawsuits

Little Drew must have got this trait from his mom or one of his many stepmoms.

3. Suing Duke, which has one of the best law schools in the country. Good luck with that! n/t

4. Hey, Drew. Maybe Dad can get you lessons at a restricted club

to overcome this "interference" by the Duke coach.

Man I miss the days when most PGA members started out as CC caddies instead of members.

Evans Scholars Foundation


The WGA-sponsored Evans Scholars Foundation administers the nation’s largest privately funded college scholarship program. Since 1930, over 8,500 deserving young caddies have earned their college degrees through Evans Scholarships. Today, more than 820 caddies attend college each year as Evans Scholars. The Evans Scholarship was founded by golf great Charles “Chick” Evans Jr. (1890-1979).

5. A 198 page lawsuit will not make him a better golfer

If you want to make the team, practice harder. Now THIS is a frivolous lawsuit. Typical Republican brat throwing a tantrum.

6. Hey Gulliani! You SUCK at golf. Get a job!

14. Yes thats him. You may also remember Andrew Gulliani. ....

and his adorable antics during his daddy's victory speech, a few years ago. Thats Andrew on the right. (On the left : 911! 911! 911! 911! )



And here is Andrew Gulliani being spoofed by the late Chris Farley for that performance.

7. I hope...

that Giuliani and other Republicans are in favour of every Joe or Jane Bloggs having the right to sue similarly for unfair dismissal when some big boss decides to 'downsize'.

But for some weird reason I doubt it.

9. According to goduke.com,,,

He has been on the team for 3 years, FR, So JR years. He had the 3rd highest average on 18 holes AND on 54 holes. IE, he never really played well or often enough to even consider turning pro in my mind!

15. If Little 9iu11ani Junior can't play golf, then the terrorists have won! n/t

[frylock]

11. sounds like a bad case of uncle rico syndrome..

we could have gone to State if only Coach had put me in the game.

16. Hey, Andrew. Did you ever consider that it might be a lack of talent interfering

with your efforts toward becoming a professional golfer?

[mikeytherat]

17. A 200-page lawsuit over getting booted off the golf team?

200-freaking-pages explaining why you were egregiously booted from the team, without even mentioning that, according to the records kept by the team, you suck at golf?

Perhaps I am being too hard on the young Ghouliani. I mean, after the events of 9/11...

18. Next up... Gary Coleman sues Duke and Coach K

for not being able to play on the basketball team....

:rofl:

[uppityperson]

19. Boy, even President BuSh gave up golf for the troops. Whiner.

:sarcasm: for the first bit.

[chapel hill dem]

20. Wow - this is really going to change the locals' opinion about Duke being

full of spoiled, rich Yankee brats.

not.
