A New Jersey referee who forced a high school wrestler to cut his dreadlocks before his match on Wednesday or forfeit altogether is under investigation and will not be assigned until the review is completed, officials said.
The New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association [NJSIAA] announced in a statement on Saturday that the incident which went viral this week will be investigated by state authorities.
He absolutely did not force him to cut it. His mother, him, the team,and the coach all had a choice, and they decided to cut it after he was given an option to forfeit his match, or cut it to the right length. There are rules, and the referee was making sure everything was right, but everyone on the outside wants to make it a big deal.
Of course they do!

Rocco Franzoso If it interferes with the fitting of the headgear it’s a violation. It’s for safety.
He should be using a hair net with his head gear. Hasn’t he used one this season?
He had the option. Wasn’t forced
