This story has nothing to do with Silicon Valley, but it’s worth a write-up never-the-less. Rudy Giuliani’s son filed a lawsuit against Duke for kicking him off the golf team. (Click here) The coach said that he just wants a smaller team. That seems unlikely. Coaches always want more.
But the real story is clear. Andrew Giuliani is clearly a super-dick. If filing a poor sport lawsuit isn’t evidence enough, how about the last part of the story. The coach said if all the other players wrote letters asking him to be let back on, he would be. Instead, 5 other players wrote letters saying they didn’t want him. Ouch.
Some stories report that the basis of the suit is that it will hurt his chances of being a professional golfer. Talk about living in a fantasy world. His best finish in a college tournement was 36th place. He was 7 players behind a space with the travelling team when they booted him.
I can’t wait to hear his poppa rail against trial lawyers and nuisance suits. Fortunately for Rudy, he’s got a front row seat to the lamest lawsuit I’ve read about in years.
