[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1970669, member: 748116"] There is certain legalese that goes something like, 'For the good of the Game'. In other words, there can be wide powers given to sports league leaders to do certain things if they feel the integrity or look of the sport is at stake... or if it makes for really bad publicity and hurts the sport in some way. We'll see what actually is happening with the Perry situation soon. But the 'wide powers' clause is some part of just about every big contract that unions have with leagues. Since sports leagues are a business first... the ownership wants to retain such powers. [/QUOTE]
