Women's Poker Spotlight: California Nixes 'Ladies Only' Events

I'm sorry folks. I just don't get it. Sure, Ladies Only Events discriminate against men. Senior Events discriminate against youth. But who should really care? These are good events to promote poker as a whole to players that might feel uneasy about playing in a full regular event. As poker grows, we should want to reach MORE players instead of limiting the scope of the game. Poker begets poker. Best live action is during a poker tournament.

For some reason, in our society today, we have accepted the rules of the few to control the lives of the many. Isn't this just like the UIGEA? The few don't like online gambling so THEY get to control it for the many that play.

As far as discrimination, Little League baseball games discriminate against me just because I'm twice as big and 4 times older. It's not fair. I really think I could do well against 10 year olds.

I agree, I don't get it either. I suppose they don't allow Ladies Night at the local watering hole also. And what about the LPA, are they required to allow men members? That's just wrong.
