I can't remember the last time I agreed with Rick Reilly but he's right about this dirtball.

I am reading a stoussel book on myths and legends and one story is about women and men and a subplot is him talking about lawyers who have sued people because 'ladies night' is sexist.....

just think of all that "POON" going somewhere else

Did they exclude gays, too? Time for another lawsuit!!

Although this guy is clearly in it for the money, the left, ACLU and special interest groups have created a "what about my special treatment day" mentality in the U.S. Males have some reason to feel like second class citizens at times because of it. And before you rant about the past - I was not alive during the heyday of the white male so stuff it - and most, except HERM who was alive during Moses' heydey, on the DR were not either. I don't owe women, blacks, hispanics, asians...etc. anything they do not owe me - mutual respect and fairness under the law. Would I have sued over a "fishing" hat - no. Do I get upset when a woman can get 3 months short term disability for having a baby and a man cannot - yes. Do I get upset when I cannot address dress code violations with women at work without having HR present - to assure no sexual harassment is committed - yes.

Special interest groups seem to want it both ways - treatment like everyone else, and "special" treatment because of their individual "specialness". We are all alike, or we are all different - can't have it both ways. eh - just a rant on Tuesday afternoon.

How is it women can have children and men can not? I wanna sue someone for that.

I thought it was you evanjihadists who were bent seven ways out of shape because Obama didn't spent the day in public prayer on National Prayer Day. Will you get as bent if he doeasn't have a light saber fight on the equally fantasy National Day of the Force?

Great rant. Now for reality. Under Federal law, almost all state law, and most common law, this is a loser of a case. There must be something stupid in the state law allowing the suit to go forward. Ladies Nights have been upheld as a non-violation of almost any civil rights law throughout the nation in other cases.

Don't blame this on the ACLU, the left, and special interest groups. This is one moron suing everyone. It's not some epidemic of stupidity like you suggest. READ the article, then write. The reason you need an HR rep there is because some idiots in your position were truly idiots and went way overboard with actual harrassment. Its their fault, not the lawyers. Get over it.

Northguy, your anti-Jedism is disgusting!

CWAKES, pay no attention to Northguy. He's a known forceist.

On topic - read this piece last week. Reilly tore this buffoon a new one. Hope Mr. Rava likes his floppy hat - maybe he can use it to hide from the national ignominy he has created for himself.

Watch him sue Reilly.

This is why Health care reform will NEVER work!

Unless regional committes are formed from Doctors, Lawyers, Laymen/women, and Businessmen/women to refer lawsuits thru, determining what's valid or frivolous, nothing will work effectively! Left without resolution, it will Create an undue burden on the system however well it be designed!

I am a catholic - not an evangilist. On the other hand, we all know what you are not.

Sycophant - it was a rant which went off topic on the article - he just keyed the reaction. As I said, this guy has no "good intentions" for his actions, but there is validity to the case of the exclusion of men/woman/etc due to special interest groups/ACLU/etc.

An opportunistic lawyer

Is there another kind?

What a maroon.

Poor white males. I notice that losers think it is because they are male or female or black or white or gay or straight.

In a perfect worl this dude would be horsewhipped for wasting the courts time with this crap.

This judge has to be paid for nothing else makes sense

Maybe in this not so perfect world he should be beat with a baseball bat.

I'm glad this guy sued and won. What business do those whores have going to a ballgame anyway?

WTF over. That is pure bullshit. I wonder if they sued anybody on mothers day?

Men are people too!

Men are people too!

Yesterday, June 15th, was "National Man Day"

Then you've also got "Father's Day" too.

What do y'all want? 364 days a year in your honor? LOL

guy's a fucking scumbag. but, you got to take the bad results with the good when you come up with laws about not discriminating based on gender, race, sexual orientation, etc.

wait till white guys start suing even more over discrimination that results from "affirmative action"

I think I'll file suit against the Cardinals for running promotions that are only offered to children 15 and under. I would really like one of those mini-baseball bats they give out.

This is just wrong. They should have sued the Giants.

This is so wrong. Is nothing sacred?

The feminization of America continues.

Does anyone think this is a god thing?

A God thing, no. The guy was just pissed he couldn't be the homecoming queen.

Maybe a freak of societal evolution.

True story - The last time Los Angeles had a riot the Dodgers were having a bat give-away night.

I still have mine, size 29, I am going to give it to my boy when he gets older.

" The last time Los Angeles had a riot"

Not Rodney King, are ya?

Why didn't the A's just offer a man's night??

They could do a 5k run, get a check up for prostrate cancer and get a friggin floppy hat from Macy's.

FF!

If I were the judge, I would have ordered them to pay him and ordered that he use the money to have his balls removed.

A win-win situation.

Don't blame the ACLU. Blame our politicians, and our judges. The ACLU can't accomplish anything if its ludicrous (on many occasions) claims are rejected out of hand. It's only because these inanities are indulged by the society that such plaintiffs can prevail There are too many "rights" created at law so that every individual is invested with a panoply of them.

Don't blame the ACLU. Don't blame anyone except a society gone mad that accords "remedies" for what do not seem to be wrongs.

There are too many "rights" for too many groups and individuals to protect everyone from the vicissitudes of daily life. We should revert to the thick skin remedy for most insults to sensibilities.

What a crock. We have found the enemy. and he is us.

It's sort of a reverse Niemoller thing.

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.

by Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945

Our plaint should be:

First they gave extraordinary rights to Group A to compensate for wrongs. Then they gave extraordinary rights to Group B. Then ...

And before long everybody had "extraordinary rights.

Of course, what was not addressed is that for every "right" accorded a person or group, there is a reciprocal "liability" created in others.

We have fallen into the abyss of creating too many "rights."

"This is just wrong. They should have sued the Giants.'

After their playoff flop against the Eagles, this Giants fan was ready to do just that.

"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Communist."

Sounds like a fine policy to me. If they came for the fascists next, the rest of the quote would not have been necessary. No one else would have need worried.

Of course, what was not addressed is that for every "right" accorded a person or group, there is a reciprocal "liability" created in others.

Such bullshit.

Wot is the liability involved in granting gay folks the right to get married?

/Note: In case yer tempted to answer with yer usual monetary excuse Spud'll just remind you that that's an argument against all marriage.

Be Well.
