is actually a conflict of interest...because they do not have the players best interest at heart..they have theirs..
a flat rate would be easier ..quicker and more beneficial to team and player..
Agents get more if the player gets more.
And so when the player gets more to you...that's against the players interests? (??)
We like players because we know their faces and root for them. But we also don't believe they should be paid. When they are it's easier to blame the agent than the player.
I don't go along with those assumptions. To me both owners and players represent business interests, neither does their own negotiating, and it's fine with me if players earn a lot from the NFL corporate money owners share in because of tv contracts (ie the cap...this isn't the owner's money, it's the cap, which is from shared tv revenue).
Should the owners not have legal representation when negotiating tv deals? Cause they do. The league does it for them.
