Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 5343081, member: 7748"] If true.... reason to hold in contempt the legal profession and lawyers. Three of the pillars of a free and liberal society are clearly defined property rights, contracts, and a monopoly on violence to the state. I will say the erosion of confidence in contracts and the bizarre evolution of contract law and sports has negatively impacted integrity of the game. I'm thinking now on the player side in the NBA of Max contracts which are awake and a nod understanding that the player will not be held to the term and can renegotiate or leave. I'm also thinking of both college sports conference contracts with their commissioners and individual school contracts with their coaches. There is an inherent level of deception in the notion that two parties sign a contract with the understanding that it's not valid or can be invalidated has led to some very bizarre outcomes. [/QUOTE]
