A judge has dismissed the lawsuit claiming the Los Angeles Angels discriminated against men by giving tote bags to women only during a Mother's Day baseball game on May 8, 2005.
Superior Judge Jonathan Cannon of Orange County ruled Thursday that the giveaway was not biased against men since the event was a way to honor mothers.
The lawsuit, filed by unstable Los Angeles psychologist Michael Cohn, whose mother never hugged him, claimed thousands of men and fans under age 18 were each entitled to $4,000 in damages because they were treated unfairly. Women over 18 received the gifts that day... possible "mothers". He really wanted a pink tote bag, so the Angels sent him four of them after they received his angry letter. He sued them anyway.
In a way, Dr. Cohn won, since the organization has changed its policy since then. Last year, the team gave tote bags to the first 25,000 fans who came to the Mother's Day game.
