I know a couple jockeys at a bush league circuit and it never ceases to amaze me that even the top jockeys for a decade hire an agent to line up rides for them.You mean to tell me that the trainers don't know that a certain jockey is the best and in top form where they don't knock on his door pleading with him to ride his horses.Then no one ever questions the fact that these agent leaches shouldn't even be in business sitting on their asses while some athlete goes out and gets his head cracked open or knees exploded.
The same goes for pro sports.Why in the hell do you need an agent?If I were a player I would evaluate my stock and find a composite of similar players to me and average it all out and ask the owner for the salary similar quality players are making. You get to keep the agents fee 10% or play for 10% less where the team has more money to spend to get better players.
Then I could never figure out the collective bargaining agreements pro players are awarded but places like division 1 colleges ''state tax payers'' can't do a collective bargaining scheme like saying there will be a 400 grand ceiling on what coaches get paid.It would be called collusion and the courts would throw it out probably.After all,if there was a salary ceiling for big time college coaches,where would they go if they weren't happy with their salaries?They wouldn't go to Greece to coach semi pro that probably pays 50K a year.They would be happy getting the 400K a year and the tax payers would save the other 700K they used to get when their salary was 1.1 million$
Just think of all the fat ass loser bloodsucking lawyer agents that would lose their source of blood sucking income.
