Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it seem like, over the years, that Americans have become so....so stupid, that we feel that we have to sue for almost anything? And when I say "we", I should actually say "morons", because the guy in this story is just that.
As noted on ESPN.com, " 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." OK, where to start; "he's" suing because he was denied permission to receive one of these "purses" because it was meant to be given to "women" on "Mother's Day".
Exactly what point are you trying to make with this lawsuit????? Honestly, what is your point? According to this moron "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", yet, "Angel officials said Cohn was the only person who complained about the giveaway."
To make this whole silly lawsuit worse, he's a psychologist. Sounds like you're the one that needs a shrink. Really...you're the only person that complained about not getting your woman bag at this give away, yet, you feel compelled to drag the rest of us men into this mess by believing that we support you.
To placate this loser, the Angles sent "him four tote bags and a letter stating the team ran out of the item that day and had to order more." It's not like he didn't get a bag. Heck, the team went out their way to send him four. In response, his lawyer, who I feel might have earned his degree on the planet Simpleton, said "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."
A SHOW DOG??? Ok, that it! Here's the scoop, idoits! The freakin' giveaway was for WOMEN on MOTHER'S DAY, not for LOONEY PSYCHOLOGIST WITH "ISSUES". Please do the rest of us normal people a HUGE, HUGE favor and continue with the law suit. In fact, take it to Judge Joe Brown or Judy Judy. I'd love to see either one of them grill you on nation tv. Losers!

Man denied bag says Angels discriminated
Associated Press
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.
Angel 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.
