A high school swimmer from New Jersey was disqualified from a race for wearing an American flag on his cap in honor of his grandfather who was killed in the September 11 terror attacks.
The boy's father, Rob Miller said his son, whose name was not released, was told the flag on his swimming cap was too large and in violation of competition rules. He said the opposing coach waited until after the 400-meter free relay race was over to have the insignia measured.
The swim meet took place last week during Morristown High School's 'senior night' against Parsippany Hills High School. Miller's son is a sophomore at the New Jersey high school. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11712929/Swimmer-American-flag-oncap-disqualified-high-school-race-New-Jersey.html
