What A Little Bitch Boy
Filed under: Legal Matters
Guess when you have a lot of daddy's money to spend, it's easier to waste it.
Rudy Giuliani's son is suing Duke Univeristy and the men's golf coach.
Why?
Turns out Andrew Giuliani was kicked off the team.
Really!
And he's suing because of that!!!!!!!
Andrew, a senior at Duke, claims in the lawsuit that he was illegally terminated from the team this past February without any warning.
Uhmmm, who says you need a reason to be terminated from a college sports team????
It's not like you signed a contract!
According to the lawsuit, the men's golf coach, O.D. Vincent "announced to the team that he was unilaterally canceling Andrew's eligibility to participate in the University's Athletics Program immediately and indefinitely. Andrew and his teammates were shocked. Andrew had no prior notice of what was about to happen. At no time was Andrew ever given an opportunity to defend himself; instead he was summarily dismissed."
Poor Andrew.
Did he suck at golf or was it just his attitude?????
Well, according to the coach's rules, the only way Giuliani can get back on the team is to have written letters of support submitted by each team member.
But obviously that isn't happening!
So instead, he's going to sue.
We're guessing maybe the whole team doesn't like him?
The claim continues, "Andrew's suspension would become a permanent cancellation of his athletic eligibility at Duke unless every single one of his twelve teammates wrote a letter to O.D. Vincent that O.D. Vincent deemed 'satisfactory' supporting Andrew's reinstatement to the team and explaining the reasons why."
The document also alleges that coach Vincent "strong armed other team members to not support Giuliani's return by threatening to kick them off the team."
The suit continues, "It was plainly obvious to each team member that their own personal interests were directly in conflict with Andrew's reinstatement to the team. They feared that O.D. Vincent could unilaterally dismiss them from the team without warning or notice."
Riiiiight.
As for daddy's help, Andrew said he's asked not to receive any.
He says, "I love my father very much. I just decided not to ask him to get involved in the situation."
What do U think about Andrew suing the university?
I dont understand…did he get cut from the team or did he get caught with drugs and get kicked off?
holy crap i didnt know people acually posted comments. you all need lives. honestly you're all fucking nuts.
yer cut loser!!! suck it up and stop being a bitch boy!!!
HE LOOKS LIKE RICHIE CUNNINGHAM
he probably had bad grades and good ol' daddy couldn't pay off his professors on time. stupid jerk. he has a free ride at an excellent school. he should just shut the fuck up and deal with not being on the golf team.
get over it prick, this twat need to have a reality check. why not go over seas and fight this stupid war. Oh I forgot republican children don't have to go fight a republican war…
Can't expect much better from a DOOK student.
GO HEELS!
i think this is great…duke sucksssssss!!
I knew him through our high school years and I know for a fact he was a total diva on the golf course
You guys are all a bunch of fucking tools thinking you know what the hell's going on by reading a slapped together piece of shit attempt at journalism. You guys all just go along with whatever the fuck Perez says. Perez just doesn't like this guy because he obviously doesn't like his dad. If this dude was some random fag on the street he'd be supportive of his lawsuit. Fuck you fuckers.
fuck all you bitches, none of you would ever be good enough to play a college sport anyway. also i met this kid when i didnt even know who he was and he was the nicest kid ever hes not spoiled or anything. so eat my nuts, and this is the dumbest website ever and your all douchebags for visiting it
Re: ashli –
I totally agree with you- I am a division 1 college athlete and you DO sign a contract with the university. I hope he wins his lawsuit
I go to Duke University and I've had a few classes with this kid. He is a REAL asshole! I highly doubt that his teammates were 'strong-armed' to not support Andrew. They probably agree with him being gone and just want to make it look like they aren't selling out their teammate. Trust me, this guy is a class act and he deserves whatever comes at him. I really dont see him winning this case at all.
HIS FATHER HAS MORE MOB CONNECTIONS THAN VICTORIA GOTTI–ALLEGEDLY!
It's weird because the arguments they are using to substantiate the lawsuit amount to constitutional due process arguments (i.e. no notice, no hearing.) That won't fly because Duke is a private university and they can do what they want. It sould have to be a state university for them to sue for violating a consitutional right. So I'm thinking there must be a contract and the contract states there should be a hearing before dismissal. If not, Giuliani knows he is on shaky legal ground.
YOU DO sign a contract when playing a sports team…get your facts Perez!
actually you do sign a contract. dumbshit.
I graduated from Duke the year this kid started there. The study body was rather appalled that he'd gotten in on a golf scholarship. That's right; even though his daddy's loaded, this kid got a FULL ride to one of the top schools in the nation because he's good at golf.
And now he's suing the school?! He should have declined the scholarship and just gone to the school but now he wants more money when he has plenty. I think this is just ridiculous.
I know very little about college sports contracts.
However, I want to believe that Duke University had some sort of valid reason to dump Andrew Guiliani from the golf team. Doesn't seem like they would want the controversy and the bad publicity that would result from dissing a pretty well-known family name, with lots of money. Just curious, I would like to know more facts about this case.
get a real problem…
anyone who stands up to Duke is a hero in my eyes. Sue 'em for all they're worth!!
UGLY UGLY UGLY LITTLE BASTARD.
First I'd be shocked if this kid was on a full ride. Most schools don't give out Full Rides for Golf. He was probably on a partial scholarship. Second, LOI or contracts to play college sports are only valid for one year and are renewed each year. Where the problem lies is if the kid didn't violate any rules and he was kicked off the team for other reasons. Duke has just ruined his D1 eligibility without cause.
If the team is being cut back does that mean he loses his scholarship? It won't be an issue for him obviously, but what about the kids that depend on the scholarship to get them through college? They can't all be from privileged homes.
Re: px –
While I most certainly would have chose different words, you are correct. Athletes on scholarship, and generally all team members, sign a contract or agreement in some form. Additionally, when a player is 'dismissed' from a team the NCAA outlines certain regulations which the coach, the athletic department, and the University must follow to dismiss the player.
Honestly, one cannot expect Perez to be aware of this….unless being flamboyantly gay is a new college sport.
maybe he just sucks at golf.
or he's not bringing in enough revenue for Duke or maybe he asked to be PAID too much for his abilities - hence contract.
just as the NCAA commercials advertise their players go on to become professionals in some other form of work.
…then this little piggy cried "whah. whah. whah" all the way home.
Duke is a POS school that acts first before thinking of consequences. Remember the three lacrosse players that were left hanging by their team/school not too long ago?
rich white (heterosexual) bitches always think they can rule the world
because they are blessed with a little extra $
… asshole, it is just golf
and you are about to graduate.
also,
you are not a Tiger Wood.
This idiot needs to grow a pair. Lots of people get cut from sports teams and don't sue. It's called "team building". You gotta lose the deadweight!
i love you perez, but i gotta say: you do sign a contract, it's for the full academic year/season, and i'd assume he's on a scholarship, so the contract entitles him to a full year at a time at the scholarship value. but you can be dropped from the team for lots of different things, like being stupid/academically ineligible to compete, poor performance, blah blah blah. sucks to be him, but i'm sure he can play golf anywhere else, in school or just out on the course, duh!
I don't understand why there's a picture of a pig with a mouth full of corn at the top of this story??? Did this happen on a farm? And why is the pig wearing that ugly tie?
Duke has such a bad reputation stemming from how they handled the Duke Lacrosse players over the bogas gang rape charges. The University should be ashamed of itself. I applaud Andrews tactics. Go for it.
alright think about it,
if you're apart of a academic sports team and you are suddenly kciked off for no reason, that is a form of slander. i mean, they really cant do that, its discriminatory. so i think, if it was his last resort, he could and should sue.
because its his integrity on the line.. i know if i were kicked off a school sport FOR NO REASON in front of everyone, id object.
Ridiculous! Obviously he sucks at golf and he can't handle anyone telling him "no," because he's a privileged, spoiled, ginger…
i live in raleigh and i have a lot of friends who go to duke. 99% of them are not snobs, they don't look down on people and they don't look for a free ride. everyone i know has to work hard as hell to get where they are. i know a few who dorm with him and they can't stand him. he wants everything on a silver platter. he didn't try to run into a collapsing building on 9/11 so he shouldn't expect any special treatment for it. after all, he didn't do it, his dad did. and god knows, he probably wouldn't have done it, he probably would have ran like everyone else did.
He's probably a huge annoying obnoxious pain in the ass. I doubt the other teammates were scared they were going to get kicked off too- if anything if he was really not a total douche they probably would have banded together– but since they didn't mini-Giuliani is going to sue! How lame. . .
After how Duke administration handled the Lacrosse team/"raped" pole dancer situation - they deserve any grief anyone wants to give them.
College sports ARE important if you want to play professionally. Besides I don't care who you are - it never looks good to get "fired", even if it's just off a sports team.
Perez you need to seriously get a life and realize that the arena of politics is one you need to stay out of. Your biases speak volumes. Giulinani deserves nothing but your RESPECT but because his political beliefs differ from yours (if you even have any), you consider him and his family a target. Pathetic. Get some class.
Anyone whose claim to fame is cartooning in dripping urine or semen has absolutely NO business trying to be a journalist.
You are a gossip columnist, plain and simple, and your 15 minutes are soon coming to an end. People are sick of your mean-spirited, biased tirades against people you simply don't like. Check it out - I SIMPLY DON"T LIKE YOU and have finally accepted that your website is NOT worth a damn much less the energy it takes to click on it. I AM DUMPING YOU PEREZ. It's not me - IT"S YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fact Checker For Some Idiots That Think They Know: You only sign anything if you are on scholarship. Any scholarship is purely a one year agreement–in all sports and all schools. Even if he is on scholarship (which he probably isn't) Duke will probably honor that scholarship even though he is not on the team. Anyone who thinks a crap golfer with a bad attitude on a team full of guys who can't stand him should be allowed to stay on the team must be able to relate.
What does a fat little rich boy need with a scholarship anyway????
Lame spoiled little rich boy can't deal with rejection….
Damm, that is why this country is going to HELL-lawsuits. Little a-holes like this kid are allowed to sue? What a laugh-so maybe the gold coach was biased-guess what? The same shit happens when an employer fires you over another person. Wake up white boy!
Perez, aren't you sort of well known for having stupid lawsuits too?
haha i love the people here who have no idea what they´re talking about…how many of you played Division I athletics like I did and know the system…how many of you know that in Division I athletics you sign into a CONTRACT that is worth 10s of thousands of dollars…and is tough to be broken by both parties. I don´t know if he was on scholarship but he can do whatever he wants…why are people cutting him down because he loves to play a sport and is very passionate about it! and yes, I went to Duke, and No, it´s not an Ivy League school like some people here say (those who clearly don´t know the educational system in the States very well…), but it´s a damn good one…everyone needs to get their facts straight, spend a little more time on their own lives and doing something productive rather than criticizing others…even if he´s being a brat, who hasn´t done bratty and stupid things in their lives!
Typical Dookie!!!!!
I remember a long-ago Christmas Eve Mass broadcast from St. Patrick's. Former Mayor Rudy was there with former wife Donna. Andrew was there, too, quite young, and acted like a spoiled brat the entire time. He entirely misbehaved and nobody did a thing. I wanted to jump into my TV set and smack the hell out of him. Sounds like he hasn't changed a bit.
Many years ago there was a Christmas Eve Mass televised from St. Patrick's Cathedral. Former Mayor Rudy and former wife Donna were there along with Andrew who was a miserable little, misbehaving brat through the entire service. His parents did absolutely nothing while I wanted to jump through my TV screen and smack the hell out of him. Sounds like he hasn't changed a bit.
do your reseach perez…andrew guiliani is actually a pretty good golfer with a lot of hope in his future.
Re: ash –
GO HEELS!
FUCK DOOK!
What a snot!
oh perez…. you obviously didnt play sports in college because bigger universities do require you to sign a contract and must tell you why you are being kicked off… i like you perez but get it together babe!
Actually if he was on scholarship then they did sign a contract. Athletic scholarships in Division 1 schools are signed contracts that are renewed yearly.
Actually for Division I programs such as Duke (depending on the sport) many student-athletes are asked to sign "letters of intent" that state one's desire and legal obligation to play for the school. If the golf team was a scholarship-based sport and A.G. was on scholarship, they can't just "kick him off".
Golf team? Seriously? How gay do you have to be to kicked off a golf team? Maybe he should try mini golf instead!
That's right, he is a ginger! Hope he doesn't stop by the airport Hilton on the way home!
Since WHEN are you Giuliani's kid lol….
Damn, i really want to slap that face, but I bet I'd have to stand in line.
Hey Perez - just to clear a little something up, you do actually sign a contract to play on a college sports team in most circumstances. I played Division 1 lacrosse for the NCAA and in order to get my scholarship or even play on the team i basically had to sign my life away, including multiple contracts. You can be terminated from the team for many reasons, however - the most usual one is breaking team rules - but even then you typically have to go through an arbitration process. With all the trouble Duke athletic department has faced in the past, i would be surprised that they would make an erroneous termination, especially of someone like this who they know has access to the media. Unless they are complete morons, i am sure that the athletic department at Duke had reason for the termination.
Why has nobody mentioned that this fucktard's BEST finish in a tournamnet was tied for 36th at 14 over? He obviously sucks at golf (relatively speaking) and is being a little bitch. What an asshole. I hope this costs him plenty. And for those complaining that this site doesn't have its facts straight regarding a contract and looking for hard news and accuracy, you are a dumb ass for looking here.
Please… this guy is ridiculous. When he was younger, none of his classmates liked him. He is the worst spoiled brat I've ever seen in my life. Good to see he still hasn't changed (not!!!!!!!!). He's always been a diva… and I've witnessed it.
Hi Mario Homophobe Hilton:
What would you say if you discovered Andrew was dismissed because he was GAY? Stop hating on the gays, gayboy.
WHAT A PRISSY ASS LITTLE FAG! Not only does he set a new bar for future meaningless lawsuits, like we don't have enough, that he just demonstrates he is a spoiled little rich boy that HAS to get his way…..Whaaaa, Whaaaa, Whaaaa, what a frigan little baby! GROW UP, you can't always get your way and drop the law suit you little BABY! LOVE PEREZ, YEAH!
As I always say, redheads are the ugliest people alive. Here's another example. Ick.
WTF is he Rudy's red headed step child. He just looks like an annoying prick. Nice yellow teeth. Use some of dad's money to get Brite Smile. A good rule to follow is that your teeth should be lighter color than your skin.
Better dead than red on the head!
well he looks like a douchebag, so that explains it!
i've had the agony of meeting this guy, he's a piece of crap, totally unparented.
I'll tell you what I think… I think Rudy should have kicked his ass when he was 10 years old and completely disrupted Rudy's inauguration ceremony at NY City Hall……
What do I think?
I think if he was gay, black, female, or the son of democrat, you'd be asking us to donate to his cause.
Jesus, Perez, why so transparent?
Wah Wah Wah!! Just another whiny ass spoiled rich kid!! They just do NOT get the fact that the friggin' world does NOT revolve around them!!!
And whoever posted that he should 'go for it' and sue…….you are an idiot too!!!! The legal system is so bogged down with stupid ass lawsuits that the real problems don't get addressed! If we said celebrity's and spoiled ass rich kids can't waste the courts time ever again………it would free up our court system all together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No sympathy here!!
he has every right to sue them, you can't just drop a student from a class without notice and you can't on a sports team either. what if you were relying on a scholarships then all of the sudden you didn't qualify for them?
You have to understand division 1 golf before making any comments. He might have just been kicked off bc he exceeded his 4 year playing limit (he can still be a member but just can't play). Also, the coach just might be a total asshole and they usually do give a warning before you get the boot.
I knew Andrew in high school and he is a stand up person. He would not bring about a lawsuit unless it were for the right reasons. I think it is absolutely disgusting to rip him to shreads on here when he could have a legitimate claim. I'll be laughing when he wins his suit and proves your vicious posting wrong.
hey julia, thanks for the legal advice but that lawsuit is bogus and everyone knows it - even that fat little pig knows it. he should just pull the golf club out of his ass and get over it. i went to that school too ( trust me, it's not for spoiled rich kids. it's mediocre at best) and i obviously didn't love him the way you did. hey, do you wanna be my caddy?
The coach/Duke probably deserve it!
