Orange County Judge Dismiss Case Against Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

SANTA ANA, CA (AP) -- A judge has dismissed a lawsuit claiming the Angels discriminated against men by giving tote bags to women during a Mother's Day baseball game.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Jonathan Cannon ruled Thursday that the giveaway was not biased against men and that the May 8, 2005, event was a way to honor mothers.
The lawsuit, filed by Los Angeles psychologist Michael Cohn, 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.
An after-hours call to Cohn's attorney, Alfred Rava, was not immediately returned.
The suit named as defendants Angels Baseball, the corporate name for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and Corinthian Colleges, the parent company of the giveaway's sponsor, Bryman College.
An Angels spokesman said the team has changed its policy since the 2005 promotion. Last year, the team gave tote bags to the first 25,000 fans who came to the Mother's Day game, spokesman Tim Mead said, adding the Angels sent Cohn four tote bags after receiving a complaint letter from him.
A hearing was set for February 15 to determine attorney's fees and costs stemming from the lawsuit.
"The lawsuit, filed by Los Angeles psychologist Michael Cohn,"
I knew he was a psychologist before I even got there.
"Physician, heal thy self"
But, then, that's why he became a psychologist. He's a loon.
He might want to sit down with himself and deal with certain issues.
Bailiff
Just SMACK this guy.And the tote bag was not even in your color you idiot.
Its a good sign that a judge (in California, no less) would dismiss this suit.
But it is disturbing that it took almost nine months to reach that decision; see previous FR thread:

The Angels should arrange a special NEW giveaway day JUST for this plaintiff. DOUCHEBAG DAY. Only HE gets one.
"A hearing was set for February 15 to determine attorney's fees and costs stemming from the lawsuit."
I think they should triple these fee's against this idiot for this nonsense.
So now we can have FATHERS DAY give aways and the feminists can't say a single thing.
Gotta love Stare Decisis.
What an A$$.
Color me surprised that the judge actually dismissed the case. With any luck, the defendant will have to pay ALL court costs.
Just think of the fun we could have had if he were a proctologist.
LOL!
