Age is not a protected class under federal discrimination laws.

Yeah, I guess all those senior discounts everyone does would be illegal.

Meh .. if you or any other man manages to get into the WSOP Ladies event in 2008, I for one will be banging on the door demanding to be allowed to play in the Seniors event (not much of a stretch anyway for me, as I will only be a few months off from the deadline anyhow).

If Harrahs lets guys in for the 2008 Ladies WSOP, then that could be the end for ALL special events is what I'm getting at.

[/ QUOTE ]

Uhhh why would you be angry if guys get in the womens event?

Why can't seniors have their own event like they do in golf?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, I'm not angry here, just wondering out loud is all.

It does raise the question then, if the Commerce has started a president here.

I mean if men can complain they were discriminated against in order to get into a Ladies Only event, wny can't someone who is just 21 complain about reverse age discrimination, and be thus be allowed to play in a Seniors event, hmmm?

[/ QUOTE ]

Age discrimination is allowed by law, and gender discrimination isn't.

You can have senior housing, but you can't have female or male only housing.

You can offer discounts to seniors, but not to whites only.

There are certain times gender discrimination has been legally allowed, usually having to do with ladies nights at bars and clubs.

Kramer: Anyway, it's been two years. I mean isn't there like statue of limitations on that?

Jerry: Statute.

Kramer: What?

Jerry: Statute of limitations. It's not a statue.

Kramer: No, statue.

Jerry: Fine, it's a sculpture of limitations.

Kramer: Just wait a minute...Elaine, Elaine! Now you're smart, is it statue or statute of limitations?

Elaine: Statute.

Kramer: Oh, I really think you're wrong.

don't know who, but that was the word going around.

"it was legal for them to play and they didn't care about being made fun of, so they did" would be my best guess
