A New Jersey referee who forced a black teenager to cut his dreadlocks or forfeit a wresting match was suspended on Wednesday, concluding a months-long racial bias investigation.
Johnson was wearing his usual headgear and covering, but the referee said it was not in compliance with rules by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association. Johnson's lawyer, Dominic Speziali, commended the"thorough" investigation and called it another"decisive win" -- but also said it didn't go far enough.
