Andrew Giuliani, son of former mayor Rudy Giuliani, filed a federal lawsuit against Duke University, claiming he was unfairly dismissed from the golf team. Per the Daily News, the lawsuit contends coach O.D. Vincent suspension over trivial incidents like "driving too fast out of a parking lot, breaking a driver, getting into an confrontation with a teammate" was ill-advised. Also claimed: Vincent made Giuliani's teammates turn against him," comparing his tactics to The Lord of the Flies. When talking to reporters, Andrew Giuliani pointedly thanked his mom and stepdad, but not his dad (who he's not that close to), saying, "I love my father very much. I just decided not to ask him to get involved in the situation." Yeah, 9/11 probably isn't a strong argument for this matter.
