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.

OK someone needs to be kicked out of maledom. What makes a so called man cry and then sue that he did not get a Mothers Day gift? He knew going into the game most likely that it was Mothers Day and that there was a free gift for those ladies entering the ballpark. It was a Free gift from Corinthian Colleges and the Aneheim Angels, do they not make the decision on who the GIFT is given too? Did I mention that it is a GIFT on Mothers Day?

Hope he did not try and pick up a free gift on Fathers Day. All of those poor women that did not get a Fathers Day Gift. What shall they do? Will they live? YES cuz they have more manhood than one Michael Cohn. Then for the team to cave such as they are seeming too by not offering a Mothers Day Gift is crazy in itself.

Where has America gone wrong in that people feel so comfortable in knowing all well what they are signing up for and then afterwards feel the right to sue over having their feelings hurt. Suck it up and be a man. Men do not cry over a free gift intended for Women and mothers on their nationally sanctioned day. Soon we will have nothing of the sort and then we will all complain of where those things went and will find someone new to sue about that.

Where will this madness end? Only when the good Lord delivers us from this stupidity.
