Age discrimination happens all the time. It happens when they card you getting into a bar or casino. It happens when you get car insurance. Your rates will go down after you're 25. These practices are not illegal. Age discrimination is in our Constitution. Just look at the qualifications to be Senator, Congressman or President.

If it was "pure age discrimination", Maurice Clarett would have won his case. I'm sure his lawyers brought up that argument
