He's right. He definetely should have gotten one considering he obviously has a vagina and is over 18.

Man sues Angels over Mother's Day giveaway

SANTA ANA, Calif. - A man who was denied a red nylon tote bag during a Mother's Day promotion at an Angels baseball game has filed a sex and age discrimination lawsuit against the team.

 

The class action claim filed by Michael Cohn, a Los Angeles psychologist, alleges that thousands of males and fans under age 18 are entitled to $4,000 in damages each because they were treated unequally at last May's promotion. Women over 18 received the gifts.

Angels officials said Cohn was the only person who complained about the giveaway and that the team is proud of its promotions.

 

"Historically, we have tried to appeal on those special days that might be nationally noted holidays or special occasions," team spokesman Tim Mead said, adding he could not comment directly on the suit because he hadn't seen it. "We have tailored programs or giveaways accordingly."

 

The team responded to a complaint letter that Cohn wrote last June by sending him four tote bags and a letter stating the team "ran out of the item that day and had to order more."

 

"They claimed they didn't have any more bags, but my client said there was a mountain of bags stacked so high a show dog couldn't have jumped over them," said Alfred Rava, Cohn's San Diego-based attorney.

 

Cohn could not be reached for comment.

 

This weekend's Mother's Day promotion will offer tote bags to the first 25,000 fans over age 18, rather than cater specifically to women. Mead would not say whether the change was in response to Cohn's complaint.

 

Rava said the altered promotion still violates the civil rights of fans under age 18.

 

Cohn's suit names as defendants the Angels and the Corinthian Colleges, which sponsored the event through an affiliate.

It's people like this that make everyone's lives miserable. People like him really piss me off. I hope he gets put in his place someday.

The worst part is I think the law is on his side. I hope I'm wrong.

 

No way. He gets $4k because he didn't get a bag that's probably worth about $10? Absolutely no way the law is on his side. He's just trying to cash in on something that really has no effect on him.

People like that just need to be deported to the corner of a random 3rd world country somewhere.. Then he'll see where all his bitching will get him. I really hate the crop of pussies that is developing in pop culture these days. Grow a set of balls already... I also agree with the guy posting above me...although more than a couple punches are in order... f**king leech

 

Anyone remember that guy at the regular season NBA game..where Kevin Garnett lobbed a basketball out of bounds and it hit him? I remember his pussy act on how injured he was, etc.. but i just wish that before he got booed out of the building that people would've slapped him around a bit. whatever happened to him? did he file charges?

 

Great now i'm angry....:(
