Thanks for your help.

Bizzare, but the offending word is “Lynx”.

Beware!

Thanks,

This is just bizzare then. What is “mod” security and how do I turn it off?

This is the “offening post…..I just don’t see it.

Calling all lawyers. The recent lawsuit against the Angels has added a whole new dimension to promotions….protecting yourself from lawsuits. Mother’s Day giveaways? Better be handing that to every man and child who enters the turnstiles. Kid’s Day? Seniors and adults will certainly claim discrimination. Just look at the list of teams who are begging to be sued.

The Ottawa Lynx of Minor League Baseball celebrated Mother’s Day by hosting a Mother’s Day Brunch Buffet prior to their scheduled game. The buffet cost $13.99 per person and was half-price for kids 12 and under. In addition, the first 500 moms received a flower upon entering the ballpark for the game, and all moms received a $25 gift certificate to a local spa. (PR)

The Lynx are just asking for it. This violated the rights of every man in Ottawa.

The Boston Red Sox are extending their marketing reach across the country. Backed by a national ad campaign, the team and Major League Baseball are launching an official “Red Sox Nation” club. For $5, fans will get a credit card-sized “citizenship card.” The cards will enable fans to receive discounts on special Red Sox merchandise items. For the Red Sox, it will also enable them to get an idea of how many Red Sox fans are in the country, and where they’re located. (Boston Herald)

With the immigration battle waging, the Red Sox are exposing themselves to a suit brought by undocumented workers and those holding student visas. A foolish promotion at best.

As part of their annual “Girl Scouts Day”, the Miami Dolphins held a cheerleading clinic. 175 Girl Scout members turned out for the event, which was held on the field prior to the game. Overall, the event was credited for the sale of 500 tickets. (TPR)

Boys of central Florida unite! The class action lawsuit that practically writes itself is right here in Miami.

The Class A Hagerstown Suns are among the minor league teams, mostly in the South, that will bring in Christian entertainers, have players give their testimonies, conduct faith trivia quizzes for prizes and have giveaways that could include biblical bobble-head dolls for “Faith Night”.

Atheists and Nihilists are uniting together to fight this one. No one is praying for a happy outcome and half of them don’t believe anything good will become of the legal action.

And finally, an answer to the madness in Altoona PA.

Inspired by a Los Angeles Angels fan who filed a lawsuit against the club because he did not receive a tote bag as part of the team’s Mother’s Day promotion last May, the Altoona Curve of Minor League Baseball will be holding “Salute to Frivolous Lawsuit Night” at their July 2 game. Here is what’s planned: a pink tote bag will be given to the first 137 men ages 18 and over that attend the game; the first 137 women 18 and over will receive lukewarm coffee so they will not burn themselves; the first 137 kids will be given a beach ball with a warning not to ingest it; Angels merchandise and novelty items will be given away throughout the game; some of history’s “most frivolous lawsuits” will be honored; and there will be a grand prize drawing in which one fan will receive a “clue” and their own frivolous lawsuit. (from team PR)

I am assuming that this will die out eventually, since the standard trend is for issues to creep up, come to legal action, then be battled in the courts until they are resolved…. however you know it’s almost over when the issues are openly ridiculed and mocked. Thanks to the staff at the Altoona Curve for cutting directly to the mockery, and hopefully putting this to rest.

In the mean time I am working on a new promotion called “Lawsuit Appreciation Night”, everyone who believes in lawsuits, frivolous or serious, gets a gift bag upon entering the arena. At least with this promotion I feel insulated against those who don’t believe in lawsuits.
