Executive director Billy Hunter is really the guy who's calling the shots. He's been in his role for 15 years, and he appointed the legal council that seemed determined to go with the antirtust strategy from day 1. There's also a powerful group of agents who have been pushing a similar agenda to their players. The rank and file player membership didn't get to vote on the current proposal, and probably won't get a say on decertification.
