Court rules Mother's Day giveaways are legal - SFG

"Ladies' night" discounts at the local pub are out. But a Mother's Day giveaway of tote bags to female baseball fans is OK, even under California's tough anti-discrimination law.
That's because the Mother's Day giveaway is not based on ###### stereotypes and doesn't cut ticket prices, said a state appeals court in Santa Ana, which published as a statewide precedent last week its November ruling.
The ruling rejects a male fan's objections to the Los Angeles Angels' May 2005 promotion at their ballpark in Anaheim,Ray-Ban RB3194, which was supposed to honor all mothers in attendance, and included a "Baseball Mom" essay contest, a scoreboard display of fans kissing their mothers, and the selection of a mother as honorary public address announcer.
