Charles and Rosa Johnson, speaking through their attorney, Dominic A. Speziali, said in a Monday statement that the conduct of the referee who forced their son, Andrew, to cut his hair "appears more egregious as additional information comes to light."... ...Reactions from professional athletes The video of Andrew getting his hair cut with scissors in the gym sparked outrage.
