Fair Used from Dan Shanoff's column:Stadium Swag Suit
Like many of you, I've been shut out of stadium giveaways before:
Maybe I was too young for "Beer Tankard Night." Or I was too old for "Mini-Bat Night." And, yes, maybe I was even too male for "Pink Hat Night."
But I (and you) sure wouldn't litigate over it, like this joker who sued the Angels because he didn't get a free bag offered only to women over 18 last year on Mother's Day.
Really??? All that effort for a piece of branded swag from a marketer? If you go to games for the freebie, get your head examined.
A middle-aged dude who's angry he didn't get the free giveaway? There's got to be a way to channel that energy more productively.
(On Sunday, the Angels will give away the "Mother's Day Ladies' Tote Bag" to the first 25K fans over 18, man or woman. How many dudes will take them up on the offer? Here's a hint: Leave 'em for the intended audience.)
Remember that idiot in NJ who sued a bar for discrimination because he had to pay the cover charge on Ladies Night...?
