Al Sharpton Says Wrestling Hair Rules Are Biased Against Black People

Al Sharpton says video of high school wrestler Andrew Johnson getting his dreadlocks cut before a match is "outrageous," and shows a tremendous bias against minorities in high school sports.

The Rev. ain't buying the argument that the ref was simply enforcing the rules -- and accuses Alan Maloney of having a "bias" against black people.

But, Sharpton also believes the hair rule itself it ridiculous -- saying, "I think that it clearly discriminates against people that have a certain cultural bend, and come from a certain identity and racial background."

Sharpton compares the situation to discrimination cases where black employees had been told to get rid of dreadlocks and cornrows to comply with workplace standards.
