David Stern is one of the biggest pieces of corrupt shit in sports that he should be running FIFA; makes Andrew Demetriou look like Princess Mary in comparison.Its not just the AFL.
NBA has same issues - see CP3 trade to Lakers that got stopped.
GM of NO team told LA GM he was authorised to do deal. LA agreed and trade was approved by both club and submitted to NBA league office.
David Stern, then CEO on NBA (NBA also owned, administrated and ran NO NBA team) vetoed trade - as Stern was the "superior CEO" of NBA and thus the team. He didnt want Lakers to get a big name again and for a developing team to lose a star.
SO trade was shut down and Lakers missed out and got worse as a team and the rest is history.
Im not a NBA or Laker fan - just highlighting there are professional sports examples outside AFL where management manufactures outcomes.
