Colorado Rockies face mediation over 'Ladies Night'Promotion discriminated by gender, Civil Rights Division concludes

The Colorado Rockies have been ordered into mediation by state authorities after a man complained that he was denied a free "Ladies Night" game pass because of his gender.

The ruling comes from the Colorado Civil Rights Division, which concluded that the man, Stephen Horner, had a valid concern and it needs to be addressed, according to a report from KDVR-Television in Denver.

Horner reported he attended a Major League Baseball game with the Rockies in Denver in 2007 when employees of the team were handing out free vouchers to a future game – to women only. He said he asked for a voucher but was told he couldn't have one because he is a man.

He complained, but got no results, he claimed in a subsequent gender discrimination complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Division.

"I felt like I got a bad deal," he told the station. "My rights were genuinely denied."

state agreed in the division's notice of "Probable Cause," which ordered mediation in the dispute. The Rockies, who can appeal the decision, withheld comment because team officials felt it was premature to talk about whether such "Ladies Night" promotions will be dropped.

Team officials earlier reported it was their intent to give the vouchers to anyone who asked.
According to a report in the Rocky Mountain News, the state Civil Rights Commission also earlier voiced support for Horner when he complained of having to pay a higher cover charge when bars and restaurants featured "Ladies Nights."

"Ladies night promotions are an illegal practice and the commission urges public establishments to immediately cease and desist such practices," the commission wrote in his ruling.

Such promotions, the commission said, are inappropriate even though they are "dissimilar to other, more pernicious types of public accommodation violations."

"Why should I pay $5 [while women are admitted free] just because I'm a guy," Horner told the newspaper at the time. "Women are growing up these days feeling they are entitled to favors. I believe that this entitlement mentality is counterproductive to the social goals of an egalitarian society."

He's generated more than a dozen court cases over "Ladies Night" promotions in bars, and has lost several cases that ended up before judges.

But now comes the state opinion on his complaint that no organization would hand out coupons to just one racial or religious group, and genders should be treated the same way.

Yet again some guy out there feeling slighted that someone got something FREE and he did not. (Click here for page to my first writing about similar story, scroll way down)

OK who here reading this does not realize that a sporting event is typically a guys thing? This is a nice way of trying to get new peeps, especially the ladies (all the ladies in the house say HEY!), the park decided to give them a free ticket. A give away that might just get them back to the park to spend money.

This guy is most likely already a fan and would come back on his own anyways and pay the cash.

So if we went back into his life and took a look, how many of you think he took advantage of something free for being who he is? My guess is YES! We all have come away with things because of who we are.

Restaurants have "Kids eat FREE days", ballparks with gifts for the kids entering the park, breakfast in the office for only his department and so on a so forth.

This is just too much, I am sorry especially if you cannot live with the fact that we are not entitled to everything. He talks about the entitlement mentality when I think he has a worse case of it. The women entering the park did not ask for the froe ticket as he did. They were just simply given a gift to say thanks for coming and please do come back again.

No foul there.
